One of the worst things about trench warfare had to be the fact that if it rained it would fill your trench with water then your socks and shoes would get wet and you could get infected sores from your feet being so soaked. When your sores would get infected, if the infirmary didn't have any antibiotics you might have to get your foot amputated. Another bad thing about trench warfare was the mustard gas. The mustard gas would slowly burn you from the inside out if you breathed it in and if you didn't have a gas mask you would have to pee on a cloth and put it around your face so you wouldn't be able to breathe in the deathly chemicals. The last bad thing about trench warfare was if an enemy was to throw a grenade into the trench you would either have to get out of the trench or try and throw it back. If you couldn't run away from the grenade then you would more than likely die. Thank you for listening to my views.
Great post. You did a very good job of explaining what made you choose the things you did. I also appreciate that the picture you chose relates directly to the thing that you explained as the worst thing about life in the trenches.
