It was pretty hard on a lot of them. They were virtually trapped in a trench for months on end. If it rained, the dirt turned to mud. There was a lot of sickness in the trenches. And if you were not careful about moving around, you could get shot even in quiet times pretty easily. To get by, a lot of troops made unofficial alliances with the soldiers on the other side of the trench. These were always off the book of course. It was the worst when soldiers were ordered to go on the offensive. Tanks were unreliable at that time so most just went by foot but No Man's Land was a rough gig due to machine guns, etc. The defender was always at an advantage.

This was a particulary nasty war. The time was spent in trenches, in mud with the only relief was getting out of the trench to be shot. The survivors had tales of suffering and deprivation.
When the war was over many millions died of Spanish Influenza.

You think?? A lot of men (and women) died there. Go search your local library for more information. The library will have a lot more info about wars than strangers who didn't really have a first look. (I'm not saying that some of you didn't have a 1st look, but it's not like I did) So, yea, just go there.
