SOME NEWS FROM THE TRENCH 



                                Fighting by a shovel

  Do you know why a command has forbidden soldiers to use their bayonets to hand-to-hand

  fighting during the Great War? It was caused of that when somebody got into the enemy's hands,

  they were gouging out his eyes by his bayonet! For that reason soldiers were using shovels

 - when they were thwacking the kidneys, victim was fastly dieing.

                               Illness in the trenches

As is known - soldiers had to answer the call of nature in the trench(they were digging holes),

 but when there was a lot of rain, all faeces were overflowing and the boots of soldiers were

 still wet. It was causing putrefaction of their foots and pervasion of a disgusting illness. As a

 result of this, their foots had to be amputate. So that's why the officers had to look after his 

soldiers - if their foots are dry.

I think it is without difficulty to imagine that it wasn't easy...
