In World War 1 the soldiers in the trenches didn't change there clothes very often. They couldn't change their clothes for at least a week or maybe even longer in some cases. In 1915, 1 solider didn't change his clothes for 42 days. Along with this, all of the soldiers' clothes were ridden with lice. They hid in the creases of clothes/uniforms and in the soldiers' hair. They were really hard to kill and the only known way to kill them was to burn them with the but of a cigarette(the end of a cigarette).
Infantry in all wars have "lived in the field"; civilians of modern societies have a very poor grasp of exactly what this means, as we have become accustomed to easy access to food, clean water, sanitation, and clean clothes. Even modern militaries have put great effort into providing these "creature comforts" on a reasonably frequent basis to their soldiers.
The level of filth and unsanitary living conditions that a typical soldier on the Western Front of WW1 had to endure is almost unimaginable for a modern person. A typical battalion (a unit of about 1500 soldiers) would have 3 companies of 300-400 each. Two of the companies would be stationed in the forward trenches, with the third company held in reserve, several hundred yards behind the main trench line. The three companies would rotate positions, with each company staying 5-7 days in the rear position (that is, 10 days to two weeks in the trenches, then 5-7 days in the rear). In the trenches, there was no sanitation of any kind - the best available was buckets for toilets, or, pit "toilets" with a board as a seat. In the rear position, things were a bit better, with primitive latrines being dug and serviced. Depending on the location, there was the possibility of a shower, but in most cases, the soldier could expect at best to get a "sponge bath" using wash cloths. A full shower would have to wait until the battalion was pulled off the line completely, and rotated to the divisional reserve, 3-5 miles in the rear. There, a soldier could expect an actual shower every couple of days.
So, to answer the question more succinctly: NO washing of any kind while in the trenches (2 weeks), followed by ONElight washing during the week in the rear (plus, a change of clothes), then a couple of actual showers every 2-3 months when spending 2-3 weeks in reserve.
Of course, all of this was subject to change due to attacks (both by the enemy and one's own side).
Well normal showers were just showers but it was different at concentration camp the soldiers would say It's your lucky day go shower and you were doomed or not sometimes you just shower but other times you take off your clothes go in a room and they would say go shower for 5 minutes and they would lock the door and instead of water coming out gas came out and actually killed the people and the sad thing is no one knew about this but it was not always gas sometimes it was just water and normally only kids went to shower
No, Yes
they would usually get their mail every 2 days, the mail service back then was amazing. if it didnt take 2 days then it would take maximum 4 days
They were horrible, scary and you lost many of your friends and fellow troops.
billeting in the military is used to this day meaning a station or duty assignment.
every day ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

There are alot of people in this world who like to take a shower instead of taking a bath. When you take a shower water comes out of a fauset from about your head and if you do not have a shower enclosure then your floor will get all wet.
Uhh, each time they take a shower?
Hopefully, daily.
Take a shower or a bath
You can take a shower if you have Chlamydia.
Showers are not really determined by age. It is usually more by how dirty the person gets. Most people in first world countries shower once daily. If someone has other activities such as going to the gym or working in the yard, they may want to shower again that day.
To take a shower is US English; to have a shower is UK English.So they are both correct.
Every Single Day and twice if active. Every day.
Simply "I'm going to shower." would work. Have a shower makes more sense. It is hard to take a shower. If you take a shower any place, you just have a bucket of water. However, "take a shower" is the common way of saying it, and is considered correct.
You say to them hey take a shower with me :p
