Many soldiers faced disease that could not be cared for, or at least, not right away; starvation inevitably caused death and in the rain, they were flooded.
Additional Information
I'm guessing this question is directed towards World War I. Soldiers not only faced disease (influenza spread worldwide and caused 20 million people to die.) but the weather caused many problems. Both sides in World War I paid a tremendous price in terms of human life. About 8.5 million soldiers died as a result of the war. Another 21 million were wounded. In addition, the war led to the death of countless civilians by way of starvation, disease, and slaughter. Taken together, these figures spelled tragedy--an entire generation of Europeans wiped out.
