Can someone describe to me the trench system and landscape of WW1 on first arriving….?
i’ll try—trenches were a series of long ditches dug by sodiers on both sides, between the trenches of the different sides was called no man’s land.this area was filled with land mines and barbed wire and various booby traps and generally looked like a destroyed moonscape with craters, discarded equipment, dead bodies etc. whenever ordered, one side would attack the other straight on charging the enemy lines trying to take the other’s trenches and acquire territory. this would go back and forth with one side or the other advancing and then being overtaken. pretty dammned stupid but, this is what was done for many years in ww1.
