Bellwork:
What was “no-mans” land and
what was trench warfare?
Over 40 million casualties resulted from World War I, many occurring
in the trenches, where you currently are. As a World War I soldier in
the trenches, your daily life can be quite rough. During battle, you risk
losing your life, which can be stressful and terrifying. Yet, life can also
be incredibly boring and even depressing during the periods when
you sit waiting for battles to ensue. Regardless, at all times, you have
to worry about rats, catching diseases, shellfire, and body lice. Food is
sometimes in short supply also. When soldiers are injured, it can take a
while until they are treated. And, if you have an open wound, lying in
the unsanitary, dirty and infested trenches can result in a serious
infection. Some injuries are so bad that soldier’s limbs have to be
amputated. Also, if you disobey your commander’s orders, you run
the risk of being executed. Imagine that this is your reality, and has
been your reality for weeks. Every movement could be a disease
infested rat or an enemy approaching. It’s 20 degrees out and you
are freezing, exhausted, and all you want to do is go home.
TRENCH WARFARE
• Commanders will choose which
members to send out
• When an assaulting army enters
“no-mans-land” it can fire and
be fired upon.
• If someone is hit with a piece of
paper, they become a casualty
and must lay down until the
attack is over.
• Armies will take turns attacking
• Due to the intensity of World War I trench
warfare, 10% of the fighting soldiers were
normally killed. For those of you injured,
understand that medical services were not as
advanced as today, and life-saving medicines,
procedures, and antibiotics had not yet been
discovered. A minor injury in the trenches could
kill you, since it was likely that infection or
gangrene could set in. Gangrene is when your
body tissue begins to decay due to the
introduction of bacteria. The Germans
recorded that 12% of leg wounds and 23% of
arm wounds resulted in death, mainly through
infection. The Americans recorded that 44% of
casualties who developed gangrene died.
GANGRENE

Gangrene
As in many other wars, World War I's greatest killer was disease.
Sanitary conditions in the trenches were quite poor, and
common infections included dysentery and cholera (both
involve severe diarrhea and stomach ache, and typhus(disease
caused by the bacteria lice carry). Many soldiers suffered from
parasites (worms that live inside and feed of your body, making
you severely ill) and related infections. Poor hygiene also led to
fungal conditions, such as trench mouth and trench foot.
Another common killer was exposure, since the temperature
within a trench in the winter could easily fall below zero degrees
Celsius (32 °F). Burial of the dead was usually a luxury that neither
side could easily afford. The bodies would lie in no man's land
until the front line moved, by which time the bodies were often
unidentifiable.
 REFLECTION NOTEBOOK QUESTIONS
1. What did that experience feel like? Imagine the
weapons you were throwing were real, or that
you had been in the trenches for two weeks.
What would this experience have been like then?
2. What do you think was the worst aspect of the
trenches for WWI soldiers and why?
3. You were told that soldiers were often in the
trenches for weeks, much of that time spent on
edge as the waited for an attack. How do you
imagine this affected them?
 WWI LETTER ASSESSMENT
• Write a letter to your family or a friend from the trenches in Europe.
Your letter should help the recipient understand the stress and
trauma of life in the trenches.
• Cut out the letter sheet from your Student Handout. Write the
address of the recipient on the lines provided. You have the
remainder of the front and back of the letter sheet to write your
letter.
• Use your notes from the experiential exercise to help you write your
letter. Be sure to describe all of the following:
• The fear and anticipation you felt.
• Your living conditions and daily life.
