TRENCH WARFARE

YOU MAY THINK THAT OPEN WARFARES BAD BUT TRENCH WARFARE IS MUCH WORSE

TRENCH WARFARE!

  • Waves after waves of soldiers running/walking towards you and just dropping into low fog of the bombs
  • If you were going to be in a gas attack you were told to wee on your handkerchief and put it on your face hoping that the smell would beat the gas,it didn't
  • You were a main target for bombs
  • The enemy would dig a tunnel under trenches and blow you up from underground.

WE REMEMBER
