Life in the Trenches

Rats

Rats

Rats Rats in their millions infested trenches. Gorging themselves on human remains (eyes and liver) they could grow to the size of a cat. Men would attempt to rid the trenches of them by various methods: gunfire, with the bayonet, and even by clubbing them to death. It was futile however: a single rat couple could produce up to 900 offspring in a year, spreading infection and contaminating food.

Lice Lice were a never-ending problem, breeding in the seams of filthy clothing and causing men to itch unceasingly. Even when clothing was periodically washed and deloused, lice eggs remained hidden in the seams; within a few hours of the clothes being re-worn the body heat generated would cause the eggs to hatch. Lice caused Trench Fever, a particularly painful disease that began suddenly with severe pain followed by high fever.

Stand To / Morning Hate The daily routine of life in the trenches began with the morning 'stand to'. An hour before dawn everyone was woken up and ordered to climb up on the fire step to guard against a dawn raid by the enemy, bayonets fixed. Accompanying stand to, as the light grew, was the daily ritual often termed the 'morning hate'. Both sides would often relieve the tension of the early hours with machine gun fire, shelling and small arms fire, directed into the mist to their front.
