The experience the soldiers faced at war

Some of the experiences that the soldiers faced, either in the trenches, on the war grounds and with their mental and physical health were bad and unhealthy.

Trench foot was what happened when you’d have your feet exposed to water or mud consistently for long periods of time without drying them.

Another experience was one of their orders which was when the captain yelled “over the top” which meant they had to climb out of their trenches carrying their equipment and run through the enemies firing area over and under barbed wire fencing and sticking low to t The enemies’ firing area was land’.
