The life of a soldier in the trenches during World War I was unimaginable to the people back home in Canada. Soldiers carried out their duty to their country in the most horrifying conditions.

Because what started with two countries turned out to be a full-blown war involving around eight countries. That quadruples the amount of time‚ lives‚ money‚ food‚ supplies and so much more that were lost. It seems that each country fought this war for their own
