Trench was the fortification of the warfare, 7ft deep and 475miles long used for soldiers to avoid the explosions of bomb or hide from enemy’s ammunition.

During war like World War 1 which took 4 years to the end, soldier’s trench life was usual yet dangerous. In the first year of the war over 20 000 British soldiers suffered from the trench foot. Soldiers were not only dying from the attack by the enemy, they were also dying inside the trenches. Trench foot is a medical condition occurs by prolonged exposure to dame, poor environmental hygiene or when the feet are cold and damp while wearing constricting footwear. For soldiers they had to stay in trenches long time because they don’t know when will enemies will attack, they would stay hours or day to the end.

Affected feet become numb and begins to have a decaying odour due to the possibility of the early stages of necrosis setting in. As the conditions continues which is most likely to happened for soldiers because they need to watch enemy’s movement or prepare for an ambush, feet begin to swell and turn red. The sores become infected with fungi. It is like wrinkled thumb after being in the pool for 2 days that the wrinkly skin is no longer connected to the muscle

Trench foor was the serious problem during World War 1 becuase trench foot effects on both sides of armies during trench warfare and they had no medicines or good enviorment to prevent the trench foot, all they had to prevent was 3 pairs of socks to make feet warm and dry.
