Life as a soldier
What was life like for the millions of professional, conscripted or recruited soldiers, who fought in the various European and international theatres of war? The trench experience involved the terror of mud, slime and disease and the constant threat of shellfire. Heavy artillery and new weapons such as poison gas threatened death from afar; but hand to hand combat with clubs and knives killed many during the grisly business of trench raids. When troops were not fighting, they were locked into trench deadlock, at which point boredom also became a serious issue.

World War 1 was a terrifying event that started in 1914. This War was so destructive because it hugely affected the soldiers and their families physically and mentally
How did World War 1 affect the soldiers?
The War affected the soldiers physically through severe injuries and often left them traumatized with ‘shell shock’ by the things that they had seen like. Shell shock is an emotional shock; brought about by the many horrors that men heard while in the trenches. The trauma resulted from the soldiers’ experience of the screams of others in agony and pain and the thought of their own death. Some men just fell to pieces other men did recover from shell shock but continued to have nightmares about their experiences. Some idea about this experience is revealed in this verse of the poem Dulce et Decorum est (1917) by Wilfred Edwards.
(Gas! Gas! Quick, boys-An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And floundering like a man in fire or lime)...
(Dim, through the mist panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning)..
I hope this helps you.
