Sandbags were filled with earth and mud, and were meant to protect the soldiers
At the beginning of the war, the rations were still reasonable, but as the war lasted longer, there was also less (good) food.
If the soldiers did not have to fight, they would, for example, play cards.
In addition to the enemy, the soldiers suffered a lot from pests, such as rats and fleas. Some soldiers passed the time between battles by killing rats.
Dogs not only kept the soldiers company, they also delivered messages between the various trenches.
Soldiers could often only sleep during the day, because at night it was a good time to spy on the trenches of the enemies.
With a periscope, the soldiers could view the enemy without taking great risks. A periscope works with mirrors.
Thousands of letters and diaries of soldiers from the First World War have been preserved. These are important and valuable resources nowadays.
For the safety of the soldiers, the trenches were zigzag-shaped.
40,000 km of trenches are being built between the North Sea and the Swiss border (Western Front).
The area between the trenches is completely plowed in four years. It's called "no man's land".
During the video you can look in all directions! Try it out!
Keeping watch was one of the most important tasks you could get. There were very severe punishments for falling asleep during the watch.
Besides fighting and keeping watch, there were plenty of other annoying chores in a trench, such as replenishing sandbags, repairing barbed wire or emptying the latrines (toilets)
