well if you were in the trenches it would've been horrible due to: rats bully beef constant fire from the Germans gas attacks lice the clothes that you wore the risk of disease and the glum news that the Russians have surrendred
Soldiers had to live through flooded trenches, rats running amok, dead bodies in the trenches, and gas attacks. But when the men tried to leave the trenches they were mowed down by gunfire, so you were stuck.
there were many attacks on the western front in world war 1, one of them including; -Over the top: this is where soldiers come out of their trenches to "no mans land" to try and attack the opposition, but most died because of shell shock and literally being shot down
Cons: Very short life span. Chance of being shot down in flames Pros: No more poison gas attacks, no more living in trenches.
