Why were rats such a problem in summer in the trenches?
When soldiers dropped food and things like that, that would attract rats. The rats started living in the trenches in small holes and things like that. As they multiplied they became bolder and started eating while men were around. This is the gross bit. The rats became so big they started eating corpses of men!

How would you characterize the Western Front?
The best comparison I've heard of has been "a moonscape". Trenches were cut into what was once farmland and tracked all the way from the Swiss border up to the Belgian coast. There were forts around Verdun. So many tonnes of shells (millions and millions of them) had fallen that the water-table was destroyed and there was mud everywhere in many places especially at Passchendaele and around Ypres. Barbed wire curled around the parapets and dead bodies and rats littered No Mans Land. Behind the lines were towns that had been destroyed or partially destroyed by shellfire. Everywhere there were soldiers moving around repairing roads. There were lots of horses towing artillery guns and mules carrying ammunition, their carcasses littered the roadsides where shrapnel hit and killed them. In short, an utter Hell-hole.

If 3 men can dig 6 trenches in 4 days how many days would it take for 4 men to dig 24 trenches?
3 men dig 6 trenches in 4 days==> each man digs (6/3) = 2 trenches in 4 days==> each man digs (4/2) = 1/2 trench per day.==> Given 4 men, you get (4 x 1/2) = 2 trenches per day.==> It takes them (24/2) = 12 days to dig 24 trenches.
