Soldiers who fought in Worl War 1 endured the most brutal forms of warfare ever known. Millions of soldiers were sent to war between 1914-1918 that resulted in horrific battlefields of mobilised men and armies.
Soldiers and labourers dug trenches and machine gun placements to protect them from enemy shelling and further protect them when firing. Soldiers lived for days and weeks with limited shelter from rain, snow, winter and the summer heat while the artillery noise was incessant.
Battle was rarely continuous and soldiers experienced boredom with little heroism and excitement of the war.
