Trenches
Trenches were narrow, long ditches that were dug into the ground to provide protection and a home for the soldiers. There were German trenches lined at one side and Allied trenches across the other side and in the middle was called no mans land; it didn't belong to any side and soldiers crossed No Man's land to attack the opposite side. The trenches were very muddy, smelly and wet, many dead bodies were buried near by and near the toilets and sometimes overflowed the trenches causing many rats that grew as big as cats and carried many diseases. There was also a problem with lice in the trenches that tormented the soldiers everyday.
- Damp, wet
-Hot, dehydration

The war that ended all wars.
After the mass destruction of WW1 and the impact it had on society and the knock on effects that it caused, people still believed that WW1 was a "War to End All Wars." This war was so horrific and destructive, humanity agreed on to never allow that sort of destruction to threaten innocent lives of civilians and civilisation.
