Soldiers in the trenches during World War I typically had a simple breakfast, often consisting of tea or coffee, hardtack (a type of hard biscuit), and sometimes canned meat or beans. Fresh food was scarce, so many relied on preserved rations. Occasionally, they might have porridge or a stew made with available ingredients. Overall, meals were basic and designed to sustain energy rather than provide variety or comfort.

Soldiers in World War I often spent weeks or months in the trenches, depending on their unit's rotation and the intensity of the fighting. Many faced grueling conditions, with some experiencing continuous service in the trenches for several years. The static nature of trench warfare meant that soldiers were frequently rotated in and out, but the overall experience in the trenches was a defining aspect of the war.
