Okay, I know it's a bit of a weird question to ask but I really need to know.

If possible, could someone give me a simple list of the diseases?
Maybe in order?

I would say diseases from rats, disentary and trench foot. Disentary because they had to use the bathroom anywhere and there was no antibacterial soap and nice handtowels to wash their hands with. Trench foot because they had no way to keep their feet warm and dry; dry being the operative word because after having soggy feet for awhile the feet would begin to actually rot. They didn't get to change thier socks and shoes while huddled down in the trenches.
As well has human ememies, the soldiers had to fight with rats. Rats would come and eat the dead soldiers and as you may know, rats are riddled with disease and the soliders would get diseases from these rats.

imagine you dig a trench in your backyard, say 8 foot deep.
Now, get all your neighbors to dig a trnch too untill its 400 miles long.

Now go live in that trench, night and day, for 4 years. When its 100 degrees and when its 20
When its raining and when its snowing.

No flush toilets so whatever you.....and a million of your neighbors do ends up in the water at the bottom of the trench which is always there.

Your feet are never dry

You are never dry so you get TB.....a disease we hardly hear about anymore but which killed millions.

Get the picture?

and then there's the 1918 flu epidemic. It started jsut after the war was ended but it killed

20 million people worldwide.

Yes, thats right 20 million.

From the flu.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes. And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you. Visit here : https://tinyurl.im/aH1aW to find out what all the fuss is about.

The first pandemic of Flu came from WWI. Killed alot of people. British soldiers brought it back to England where whole families died.
No antibotics so even a slight wound killed if not cleaned and dressed. bacteria infections killed lots.
Just to name two biggies.

trench foot, shell shock, blindness or nurns from mustard gas (new weapon and most painful way to die), snakes, a lot of rats, gernades, bombs, athlete's foot but worse, fevers, colds, body lice [red bite marks, pyrrexhia, trench fever], unsanity conditions, poisonous gases, stench (dead people next to you, rats, pee, and other), self-inflicting wounds so soldiers would not have to go to the trenches (if caught, they would serve severe punishment, but some climbed out of the trenches and stood tall committing sucide), same-side trench accidents,
