soldiers had to live in the trenches in all weather. in summer the weather could be blistering hot whilst in winter it could be freezing and the ground rock solid.British trenches were in the worst condition as they were in trenches that were only a few feet above sea level. often the trenches would be filled with water and soldiers would fight a never - ending battle against water and mud

Trench warfare was, for the most part, extremely boring. It was horrible, frightening, lonely & stressful. Conditions varied, but in some places, particularly in winter men were up to their knees in mud, rats & corpses were common. And that doesn't even mention an enemy trying to kill you with bullets, shells, gas & so on...

Troops dug up trenches to protect themselves from enemy fire during World War 1. Neither side could see the enemy. It was impossible to ambush the enemyâ??s camp during the day. Consequently, there were many casualties due to indiscriminate firing. The trenches flooded and the soldiers had to dwell in unsanitary living conditions.

During WWI, Trench Warfare stalled practically all Infantry movement.

It ground activity to a halt and changed the profile of the action into a War of Attrition, with troops huddled in trenches and unable to move because of Artillery Barrages, Barbed Wire and the newly introduced Machine Gun

.

Only after the introduction of Tanks which were mobile and immune to machine gun fire, was the stalemate broken.
