Introduction:Life in the trenches during World War I was simply a bloodbath. It was the last thing hundreds and thousands of soldiers expected when they enlisted. Trench Foot: Trench Foot is a horrifying fact about fighting in the trenches during World War I. Trench foot is a painful disease of the feet caused by immersion in cold water or mud for a very long period of time. Your feet will turn black and the skin will die and rot. If you have trench foot, your feet will become numb, turn red or blue due to poor blood circulation, and your feet will have a very bad rotten smell. As the disease worsens, your feet will also swell. Severe cases of trench foot have blisters and cuts, which lead to fungal infections. This is sometimes called jungle rot. If left untreated, trench foot can cause gangrene, so your feet should be amputated. If trench foot is treated correctly, full recovery is normal, even if fully recovered, however, you will still have severe short-term pain. if you've had trench foot before, you're much more likely to get it again. Lice: Lice are another terrible fact of being in the trenches. Almost every person in the trenches had lice at one time or another. Luckily for the lice, the conditions in the trenches were a perfect place to breed. There are three types of lice: head, pubic and body. Lice could only live and repopulate in warm conditions. That body heat and clothing were perfect for them. In spreading from person to person the lice had to be very close to the next soldier and this was readily provided as the men huddled together to stay warm. Shell shock: Shell shock is brain trauma, mint...... middle of paper.. ....Canadian soldiers took Hill 70 in August 1917, just north of Arras. After being transferred to the Battle of Ypres, the Canadians took the previously unbeatable objective of Passchendaele on 6 November 1917. However we lost 15,000 casualties in the taking of Passchendaele. In March 1918 cavalry and motorized machine gun units of the Canadian Corps helped hold the line at Amiens, when the Germans attempted their last major attack. "Then the Canadians formed the "spearhead" of the attack between Hourges and Villers-Bretonneux, and then returned to the Arras area."On September 2, 1918, seven different Canadians earned the Victoria Cross in astonishing and honorable combat.Conclusion :In conclusion Canada was very important. If Canada had not been involved in this war, the end of the war would have been very different. By: Josh Jones
