What was a trench?
Trenches were long, narrow ditches dug in the ground where soldiers lived. Life in the trenches was very bad for soldiers, who were often very young: trenches were humid and dirty and these conditions caused severe medical problems.
A typical day in the trenches
- In the trenches, soldiers tried to live a sort of routine, for example.
- 5am: Stand-to-Arms
- 6am: Stand-down-Arms
- 7am: Breakfast
- After 8am: Weapons cleaning
- Noon: Lunch
- 5pm: Teatime
British Propaganda
- In the First World War, British propaganda had various forms including pictures and posters, and it had three main purposes:
- convince young soldiers to enlist
- describe the German enemy as a brute that had to be destroyed to preserve British identity
- glorify British victories by censoring
