Life in the Trenches

Officers & Men
Soldiers: conscription;
Non fit out officers (sergeants, corporals)
Junior officers: better rations & accommodation
Senior officers: usually distant from frontline; galosh jobs; their decisions = numerous casualties

Soldiers Experiences
Divisions rotated: Less days on front, more than(prenominal) days at support/reserve trenches, even more days in the rear (performing other duties)

Training
Camps well undersurface front lines
Emphasised discipline, marching, bayonet practicing

Work
Hard and tedious

Frontline Duty
al-Qaida to: Constant anticipation of enemy attack = fire tempo (before dawn and sundown)
Stand down: after sunrise - breakfast, nibble weapons, repair trenches, write letters etc.; always spry (grenades)

An Attack
Briefing (plans/objectives): officers only!



(soldiers: only enemy atrocities and cowardice consequences)
moving up: advance through communication trenches (past already-prepared graves)
Going everyplace the top: Over trench parapet into no-mans destroy = full exposure to machine guns

Hospitalisation
Dressing stations --> Hospital
After recovery, sent foul to the front
Blighty: seriously injured soldiers sent back to England

Frontline Aggression
MUST: Aggressive attitude towards enemy. Harass German soldiers in every possible way (e.g. grenades, snipers)
MUST NOT: Fraternisation

Casualties
7000 per day
metrical foot = majority
Septic wounds
Disease and trench fever (unsanitary conditions - lice, human excreta, unburied dead)
Poor nutrition and exposure = bronchitis, pneumonia
Dampness = trench foot
infected diseases: dysentery, typhus, influenza
Mental illness: shell shock
