Could you drown in the mud in world war 1?

If a soldier was wounded and fell in mud during battle it is quite possible that they would drown if not rescued. This happened to many soldiers at Frommelles and Paschendale. It was always difficult and dangerous for stretcher bearers and other soldiers to rescue wounded men who were out in 'no mans land'. Because of this many men would be left until night or a time when it was safer to move out and collect them. You have to remember that at times there were hundreds of wounded soldiers laying in the mud. It was rare for a soldier wounded in their own trench to drown in mud. Even in battle there was always a mate nearby to drag them out of mud or water.
