What where the sanity conditions like in trenches in world war 1?

Answer 1

If you meant ''sanitary'' not ''sanity''. There were Sanitary Officers appointed whose jobs were to:

1. To exercise general supervision over the

sanitary condition of all places occupied by

the troops of the command to which they

are attached.

2. To watch the health conditions of billets,

camps, and bivouacs, and at once

investigate the cause of any unusual

prevalence of disease among the troops or

the inhabitants.

3. Advise on the measures which should, in

their opinion, be taken to protect the health

of the troops, and report on the adequacy

of the arrangements already made for that

purpose.

4. Advise on the selection, from a sanitary

point of view, of sites for camps and

bivouacs, and on questions relating to the

sanitary condition of towns, villages, or

buildings about to be occupied. To this end

they should accompany the Staff Officers

charged with the selection of camps, billets,

or bivouacs.

5. Advise regarding the purification and

distribution of water for drinking purposes;

also in respect of latrines and urinals, burial

of the dead, and disposal of refuse and

carcasses of animals, etc.

6. Impress on Commanders of units and on

Medical Officers in charge of troops the

imperative necessity of obtaining the

highest possible standard in sanitation, both

in camp and on the line of march, and bring

to the notice of superior authority any

neglect of sanitary measures possible under

existing circumstances.
