Using what you have learned, write a one- to two-paragraph journal entry describing life in the trenches. be sure to include details, and write from the perspective of a soldier in the war.

Today, it has rained all day and the trenches are filling up with water. The mud is deep, and it is so hard to move around. I didn't get any dinner–when my back was turned, the biggest rat I have ever seen stole it from me.

Despite the weather, the enemy still managed to attack. We had to keep our gas masks on for hours, waiting for the poison gas to blow away. Some of the guys didn't get theirs on in time–they were having trouble breathing and were evacuated. After the gas, the enemy started pounding us with artillery fire. It was loud, and we were getting hit by pieces of rock and earth. We managed to hold off the attack today, but I am tired and anxious about what tomorrow might bring. It doesn't seem like anyone can win.

Trench life has been a horrifying experience full of pests, bad weather, flooded and terror uplifted environment. Life at trenches has been full of boredom with the terror of attack constantly knocking resulting in the lack of energy and stamina.

The trench life resulted in the loss of fingers or toes due to frostbiting or may result in the loss of lives due to cold weather. The poor living conditions with a dirty environment, terrifying weather, terror all around, and lack of food resulted in the deteriorating health of the soldiers.
