The constant artillery bombardment of the trenches meant that the fields of battle were treeless, plantless mudbaths devoid of any natural fauna or flora, and the constant rain and troop movements made conditions even worse. Many front line unites lived in trenches with permanent standing water in them. C'est la guerre.

Glassware is wrapped in straw during transportation because straw provides a cushioning effect that helps protect the glass from breaking due to impacts or vibrations during transit.
