Humans carry two types of lice. The lice normally found in the trenches would be taken there by soldiers with bad cleanliness habits and spread among the others in close proximity.
Trenches were a trademark of the first World War. They were extensive and elaborate. They were not used in World War II. Are you trying to find out the length of ALL the trenches together?
no.
Yes, trenches were used as a strategic defense tactic during World War II.
Reserve trenches were used as supplies for the trenches out the front. In world war one, they had come up with a technique of hiding in trenches before they fight. To do this properly, they had made them zig-zags. The trenches on the front line were where the soldiers would fight from. Reserve trenches were used in case these people had anything happen to them and they needed to use more trenches and more men. Throughout the war, the conditions of the front line trenches became worse as the communication and reserve trenches improved. I hope that helped :)
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
There were usually rats and lice in the trenches.
Yes, there are lice everywhere there are lots of warm blooded animals in close proximity, humans are no exception.
Mainly because lice often carry diseases. During and right after World War I, a disease called typhus killed millions of people, and it was primarily spread by lice.
Trenches were long, narrow holes in the ground used to shelter soldiers in between the battles. These trenches were full of lice, rats and mud.
Horrible in the trenches there was flies dust mud dead bodies rats lice vomit and diarrhoea.

During World War I, lice were a significant problem for soldiers, particularly in the trenches. The most common type, the body louse (Pediculus humanus corporis), could grow up to 2 mm in size. These lice thrived in the unsanitary conditions of war, causing discomfort and contributing to the spread of diseases like trench fever. Efforts to combat lice included delousing stations and the use of insecticides, but infestations remained a persistent issue throughout the conflict.
Over 200,000 men died in the trenches of World War 1.
nick name for lice
Burning lice with candles was a method some soldiers in World War I used to combat lice infestations, as these pests were common in the trenches. While it might have provided temporary relief, the practice was not effective or practical as a long-term solution. More effective methods, such as delousing stations and chemical treatments, were eventually developed to manage lice infestations among troops. Overall, while burning lice with candles was attempted, it was not a widely endorsed or successful approach.
Soldiers in World War I employed various methods to prevent lice infestations, which were a common issue in the trenches. They would regularly shave their heads and body hair to reduce hiding spots for lice and often used a combination of soap and water to clean their uniforms and bodies. Additionally, they utilized delousing powders and chemicals when available, and some units implemented strict hygiene protocols to minimize outbreaks. Despite these efforts, lice remained a persistent problem throughout the war.
