In March 1918, with nearly 50 additional divisions freed by the Russian surrender on the Eastern Front, the German Army launched a series of attacks on the Western Front, hoping to defeat the Allies before U.S. forces could be fully deployed. In the north, the British 5th Army was virtually destroyed by two major offensive operations, Michael and Georgette around the Somme. A third offensive launched in May against the French between Soissons and Reims, known as the Third Battle of the Aisne, saw the Germans reach the north bank of the Marne river at Château-Thierry, 95 kilometres (59 mi) from Paris, on 27 May. Two U.S. Army divisions, the 2nd and the 3rd, were thrown into the Allied effort to stop the Germans. On 31 May, the 3rd Division held the German advance at Château-Thierry and the German advance turned right towards Vaux and Belleau Wood.[3]…
This indicates that when some soldiers had crossed their own barbed wire, immediately outside of their trenches, were shot.…
Trench warfare turned a war of movement into a defensive war and created a stalemate. The digging of trenches initially provided a difficult barrier for an attacking force to break, but as the war progressed, an impregnable barrier developed. This was due to the creation of support and reserve trenches behind the front line and concrete bunkers that could withstand everything besides a direct hit from a large calibre shell and the placement of barbed wire.…

Introduction The trenches of World War 1 are generally known as a fairly rough environment, but how far have people seen into what truly goes in such lifestyles? What the soldiers had to tolerate, mentally and physically, is rightly astonishing. Many soldiers have told stories and written journals of their personal struggle in the heat of trench warfare, eventually resulting in the creation of a vivid picture telling us of the dreaded life in the trenches. First hand experiences and secondary sources have surely told us a strong and enduring story.…

‘One of the stretches of the wall that had collapsed had left raw to the world the remains of what had been a dozen or so French men. We packed them neatly away behind more sandbags and hoped that they wouldn’t appear in our lives again’. This shows the reality of trench warfare.…
It is from the World War One in 1914 and shows a scene from a trench with soldiers. There are a number of ¡§inaccuracies¡¨ in the picture which would not have been in the trench. I intend to point these out and explain what would have been different in a real trench. I also intend to explain why the picture has been drawn this way.…
Both the allies and the central powers fought in the trenches with both sides suffering extreme casualties.…
Soldiers “buried themselves”, and digged trenches. This will be the place where they are going to live for the rest of the war. Life in the trenches was miserable, with fleas, rats, mud, food shortages, dead soldiers and enemies. The living conditions were really bad, soldiers had nothing, they were not even able to shower or change their clothes. They were wearing the same clothes for months.…
Death is a constant comrade in war whether in the trenches or not. Constant shellfire brings random deaths to those not even on guard. Many of the soldiers are buried due to large bombardments in the trenches. Death is shown all around not just from bombardments, but also disease and injuries.…
Life in the trenches during the First World War took many forms, and varied widely from sector to sector and from front to front.…
“I have been through the mill and came out without a mark except for scratched hands through cutting and putting up wire entanglements. “I have been in the trenches since the 10th ... for the first ten days, we were in Hell, bombardments of high explosives and shrapnel from both sides every day, but two nights in particular were ‘horries’.”…
