One of the deadly weapons of WWI was gas. Early gas masks were inadequate so many of the soldiers would be blinded, disfigured, or received other injuries
The men fighting in WWI lived in terrible conditions. There was poor sanitation and many stayed in trenches for long periods of time. The trenches were very common, they protected the soldiers from the bullets and bombs of the offenders, but they were mostly badly kept and muddy.
