THE EXPERIENCES OF MANY BRAVE PEOPLE

BEING A SOLDIER DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR WAS DIFFICULT. THERE HARSH LIVING CONDITIONS AND MORE. SOLDIERS WERE PRACTICALLY JUST TEST SUBJECTS TO A WIDE RANGE OF NEW WARFARE SUCH AS TANKS, AIRPLANES, CHEMICAL GASES AND MORE.

DESPITE EVEN THESE DISADVANTAGES THE SOLDIERS WERE ABLE TO SAVE THEIR OWN LIVES WITH NEW KINDS OF TECHNOLOGY SUCH AS GAS MASKS, RIFLED GUNS, AND MORE.

AIRPLANES WERE STILL EXPERIMENTAL DURING WWI BUT THOSE WHO DID FLY MADE HISTORY.THEY RAIDED VARIOUS GERMAN ENCAMPMENTS AND LAID DOWN SOME BOMBS.

NURSES AND MEDICS ARE ESSENTIAL TO ALL WARS. IN WWI WOMEN SIGNED UP AS NURSES. SOME WERE EVEN TRAINED WITH INFANTRY RIFLEE IN CASE OF AN ATTACK.

BEING AN OFFICER DURING WWI WAS EASY. IT WAS PROBABLY THE JOB MOST PEOPLE STRIVED FOR. MOST OFFICERS COMMANDED THEIR FORCES FAR FROM ENEMY LINES. THESE WERE KNOWN AS DESK GENERALS.

WWI WAS BRUTAL. MANY LIVES WERE LOST BUT IT WAS WORTH THE RISK. EUROPE WAS FREE AND BILLIONS MORE LIVES WERE SAVED.
