The Trenches

the trenches were absolutely wretched. They smelt foul, they were very unsanitary, and many soldiers got a disease known as trench foot.

once opposing forces realized that this war was going to be much longer than they predicted, they began to dig trenches for cover as they were mainly fighting along a flat battlefield.
