Very, very, very nasty. Men lived in trench fortifications that stretched for dozens of miles. Disease was rife and any would could be fatal. At random times artillery shells would rain down on the men in trenches, forcing them to dig deeper. When the artillery did not work the officers would order a charge. During the charge thousands would be mowed down by the machine guns of the opposing side as men tried to clear the barbed wire in front of those guns. When that didn't work, chemical weapons were introduced to the battlefield. Mustard gas, nerve gas and tear gas to name a few. So then the men had to try to live and fight in a full gas mask apperatus, which was very cumbersome and hard to carry. In short, the fighting on the Western Front of WWI was hell, a game of who could throw the most bodies at the other side's machine guns.
