trench warfare

Trench warfare


Trench warfare is a thing that soldiers used in WW1 and WW2 used to get shelter from gunfire and
explosions and they were also used as their homes because there would be a big dug out rooms
where they would put their beds, food, medkits, and weapons, and other stuff.


Another reason why trench warfare is helpful is that if the enemy team gases the other team they get
enough time to get their gas masks but some times the gas goes too fast killing lots of people and
most of the time there won’t be enough gas masks to save everyone.


A bad thing about the trenches is how it responds to certain kinds of weather like for example heavy
rain because if it rains hard enough the trenches will fill up with water so they couldn’t get around as
easy. Some soldiers got eaten by the mud like quicksand.  Also, the rooms in the trenches would
collapse trapping men as well as killing men, but another thing is that they had to hang their equipment
from the ceilings of the rooms. Also, they had to sleep outside in the pouring rain because if they slept
inside there was a chance of the room collapsing in on them.


Well, that’s all I really know about WW1 and WW2 trench warfare and know you should know everything
that I know about WW1 and WW2.

1918



                                       1918


Today we read a book called 1918 written by Jim Eldridge and it is based on WW1
and in the book, a boy named Tim goes to Manchester to hide from his mother so
he could go fight for his country but he was only 13 so he says he is 18 and in the
book, it says that they were guarding a carriage that had two Admirals and a
normal person who was all German and they were thinking maybe they had
surrendered but they needed their leader to do that so maybe the leader had
committed suicide, but they already had lots of false hope of people saying that
the war was already over and that they had won and the German had surrendered
but that was fake and they still had to fight.
Next in the story some German planes flew over all the soldiers and spread this
deadly gas called mustard gas.
