Trench Life

Trench Life's idea first began in September 1914 Marne fight. The Schleifen project just failed and the Germans were forced to retreat to Germany. German commander Erich von Falkenhayn expressed dissatisfaction with this and decided that his troops should maintain Belgian and French troops with all sacrifices. He ordered to make an entrenchment to defend the French army and the British army marching to the German army. The British army and the French army decided that it would be impossible to break through themselves and protect themselves and make entrenchments to Germans.

The design of trenches and trench networks seems like a great strategy, but the reality of life in trenches is another problem. Living in the trenches damaged the soldiers involved in the war. Frontline soldiers stay there for at least ten days and usually do not sleep normally. "Katczinsky is right. When he said that if only one person could sleep more, he said that he would not become such a horrible war, we are almost nobody in this line, and it is a very long time in 14 days Time (page 2) The main reason why soldiers in the forefront can not fall asleep is to prevent enemy attacks.

The front groove is typically about 8 feet deep and 4 to 6 feet wide. The soldiers will spend a week or so at the forefront and then spend a week at the rest of the war or in a rest area. Life at the forefront is uncomfortable; soldiers may be hit by enemy shooting and sometimes with their own cannons. The soldiers in the photo stood on the stairway of the fire and made it possible for people to climb to enter the unmanned land by seeing the entrenchment. Barbed wire was widely used in the trenches of the First World War. It is placed, the depth of the sequence, and the front groove is protected on both sides. Please take a break from time to time so that men do not enter anyone's land. However, an attacker has to find a dashed line, and many people are killed by getting caught in wires and shots.

Trench foot is another disease state specific to groove life. This is a foot fungal infection caused by the condition of a cold, damp unsanitary groove. It turns into gangrene and may cause cutting. At the beginning of the war, the trench foot was a problem; as the situation improved in 1915, as a series of incidents lasted during the war it quickly subsided. As an example - numbers are very different - people may expect to spend 30 days in nearby support trenches within a year, about 70 days at the forefront. An additional 120 people may spend on the reserve team. The break time is only 70 days. The amount of vacation varies and may take two weeks a year.
