Sleeping conditions in WW1 trenches were so bad for a numerous amount of reasons. one is that the poor hygiene left the soldiers invested with lice which would practically eat them alive until they came up with the idea to use a hot iron on their clothing which would "pop" the lice to their death. My second reason is the trenches were invested with tomcat sized rats which would eat their food and the dead bodies of soldiers who sometimes couldn't be properly buried after a cave in, etc. Another reason was that the soldiers would get many diseases such as trench foot and trench mouths, or gums. Trench foot is the rotting away of the foot due to a wet boot causing moisture to soak into the foot which soldiers would walk on and the skin would rot away causing the foot to get diseased. Trench mouth was poor hygiene in the mouth creating the gums in the mouth to rot away and become diseased. Both of these conditions were extremely painful. Also, soldiers had absolutely no comfort, as they slept on the dirt and used each other to stay out of the mud leaning back to back. In the trench the soldiers were always under some type of artillery fire sometimes "Screaming Mimi's or invasions from their enemies.
Deplorable sanitation conditions in the trenches led to outbreaks of disease. Trench Foot was pandemic, and morale was low.
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?
you could't get any food into the trenches because it took along time to get to the trenches and also it got very moldy and wet due to the harsh conditions there
Answerliving conditions in the trenches are hard why is it hard to live in the trenchesMany of Brittish soldiers died because of disease. The sanitary conditions in the trenches are quite poor, and common infections included dysentery, typhus, and cholera. Many soldiers suffered from parasites and related infections. Poor hygiene also led to fungal conditions.
no.
there was fighting sleeping, relaxing, eating cooking and helping the injured!
Of course soldiers in the First World War did, though sleeping was probably very difficult.

The lines of trenches that ran from Belgium to Switzerland during World War II were known as the Western Front. The soldiers fighting in the war would spend many days eating, sleeping, fighting, and other such activities in these trenches both day and night.
Over 200,000 men died in the trenches of World War 1.
