Many were just thrown into mass graves and some still rot in the soil of Gallipoli.
At the time, it was a horrible place for all the soldiers.
Rats are Vermin creatures, who feed of the dead bodies of people who have died in war. Dead bodies in the trenches had to be taken far away to stop the rats coming to the trenches. All the soldiers hated the rats and used to beat them with spades for entertainment.
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.
Trenches were large ditches (hence "trench") dug into the ground. Soldiers would group together in trenches during battle and operate out of them as they attempted to take the enemy trenches.
Soldiers placed dead bodies in the bottoms of trenches and on top of them primarily for strategic reasons during World War I. Bodies in the trenches could serve as crude barricades, providing some protection against enemy fire. Additionally, the grim practice was often a result of the chaotic conditions of trench warfare, where the rapid accumulation of casualties made proper burials difficult, leading to bodies being left in situ. This gruesome reality also highlighted the brutal and dehumanizing nature of trench warfare.
The name itself practically is the principle behind it. Trench warfare is military combat done in trenches. The majority of the fight was done with a knife or a fixed bayonet.

During WWI the dead whether in the trenches or in "No Man's Land" were left there until the Wars end. Bodies were still being found even after a decade.
The trenches were Dirty, smelly, horrible places. You had other peoples corpses (dead bodies) everywhere. And there were also rats :(

A trench is an excavation in the ground used in war. Soldiers used trenches to store weapons and stay hidden from enemies, while still being able to fire at them.
They dug a lot of trenches and buried a lot of dead.
