The conditions of the trenches in WW1 were very poor. Whenever it rained, the water would pool up down towards the bottom of the trenches, and all of the soldiers had to step in all that water everyday until it dried, which took a very long time. The soldiers would have to walk through the water and that would end up causing TRENCHFOOT. Trenchfoot was when the foot was wet all the time and ended up rotting away. There were also Rats that would eat off the dead bodies and sometimes the live bodies. It is said that the Rats got as big as a normal size CAT!!!! There were also many diseases spread from one to the other. Mainly through the bathroom use. They had no showers so they began to smell, and lice spread quickly The conditions of the trenches in WW1 were very poor.

The armies of that time issued a greatcoat, like a military overcoat. It was not water resistant, so the trench coat was invented. Also, soldiers were innovative in layering extra clothing with their uniforms. They also had stoves fueled by wood which offered little heat and were not available in sufficient number for everyone. Mind you, these methods did not keep the soldiers comfortably warm, but warm enough to stay alive. The trenches were still miserable places, and very cold in the winter.

Sassoon wrote "Suicide in the Trenches" to highlight the harsh reality of war and the devastating impact it had on soldiers' mental health. The poem exposes the despair and hopelessness felt by soldiers fighting in the trenches during World War I, ultimately shedding light on the futility and senselessness of the conflict.
