What Were Conditions Like For The Soldiers During World War 1?

Conditions in the trenches were very poor.  There was little or no comfort for the soldiers that lived in them. Every time it rained the trenches would fill up with horrible muddy water and would be hard for the soldiers to work at all.
The soldiers would have to walk through the water and that would end up causing TRENCH-FOOT. Trench- foot was when the foot was wet all the time and ended up rotting away. There were also Rats that would eat off the dead bodies and sometimes the live bodies. It is said that the Rats got as big as a normal size CAT!!!! There were also many diseases spread from one to the other. Mainly through the bathroom use. They had no showers so they began to smell, and lice spread quickly Rats and lice filled the first world war trenches, and there was a huge stench. Rats ate from dead soldiers, and if they were very hungry, males would sometimes attack injured or sleeping soldiers. Beds were on ground level, and one had to be aware when asleep, as rats would eat through your boots and clothes. An injured soldier was a treat for the rats, and they would eat from the bare wound.
Other really bad things were: Body lice left red bite marks all over the body, lice also carried disease causing pyrexia or trench fever ; war wounds cause amputations in the leg or arm ; trench foot was caused from cold, wet and unsanitary conditions, trust me, it's really UGLY!!! ;and very poisonous gases were used . There was also this really bad stench of : Dead people, rats and stuff, and pee. Many soldiers simply killed or wounded themselves so they could be excused from fighting and enduring the terrible trench conditions. This was called self-inflicted wounds. They were just plain unhappy with the way their lives were going, so they killed themselves, or at least managed to get badly hurt. If they were caught doing this they would serve severe punishment. Some people even climbed out of the trenches and allowed enemy soldiers to kill them!!!
