3 Worst Things About Trench Warfare


The worst 3 things about Trench warfare were The gas, Trench foot, and The death count. The gas was horrible because the Germans sent Mustard gas into the Canadian trenches and the Canadians have never seen anything like this before and it would eat away at their skin. They found a was to slow down the burning by peeing on a towel and covering there face. Some other countries had gas masks but they didn't really work. Trench foot was another horrible thing of WW1. There would be mud in the trenches and the Canadian soldiers would be in it all day and the bacteria would infect your foot and you would not be able to walk and in some cases you would lose some toes. They had to change their socks lots during the war to lessen the chances of catching trench foot. Another thing that was terrible about trench warfare were the death count so many people lost there live holding the front line for Canadians. They would be shot from other countries they would get hit with mustard gas.
