HiRe: Trenches
A lot of lessons were learnt from ww1 by the British army, in the early part of the war the generals were planning the attacks from several miles behind the lines , and, as in war things change quickly and what was a well defined plan soon turns into chaos as things change, plus with no means of communication, as telephone lines were often cut in bombardments there was no way to change the plans, officers who went over the top with the men were often targets and their survival rate was very poor, was it the worst time in history? well for a soldier, I suppose it might have been with slaughter on an industrial scale, but nowadays weaponry has evolved so much and you can be killed from many many miles away,Re: Trenches
The difference between any events in the war and now is that despite the terrible conditions, people believed they were fighting for the good of their Country. In those days you were imprisoned for not killing the enemy. Now, it's the opposite. I can't help thinking that those unfortunate souls died for squat.Re: Trenches
