Describe what you know about life in the trenches.

Life in trenches is absolutely horrid. The soldiers will stay in the trenches, with plenty of mud and rats. Some of the soldier's feet will slowly rot away, and they can't do anything about it. Their friends will be shot down and the only thing they can do is watch them. The food provided is very sparse and they do not get enough nutrition. Occasionally they will be called to run forward and shoot, which is basically looking straight at death in the eyes. If they disobeyed orders that tells them to run to the enemy, they will get shot and be considered unworthy. They lived in the trenches for several weeks/months, in a horrible condition. Many soldiers were forced to run forward and sacrifice their lives for a few inches of battleground gained. Their commanders are living a very happy, healthy and content life in hotels while the soldiers themselves suffer from such atrocities and death.
