Best Answer

The soldiers constant companion in every war until very recently was lice. These infested the mens clothes and hair. "Lousy" means infested with lice. Sometimes also called "cooties", the origin of that word. Mobile delousing stations were a part of the AEF, but until the men were out of the trenches and the war over the problem was never really solved. The unbeaten foe of WWI.

Rats, of course, had a wonderful time, battening on the amazing feast of corpses and slaughtered animals.

Blow flies had orgies and laid eggs on the amazing expanses of rotting flesh, and maggots were plentiful.
