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!

Many dead bodys were on no-mans land which attracted the rats. Soldiers,when they were bored, used to tease the rats with food and then kill them
