FRANCE: Flooded trenches, Western Front, during World War I. Two British soldiers in waders standing up to their knees in water in a flooded communications trench. The Allied trenches were generally lower and wetter than the German trenches. The constant water was not only uncomfortable for the men, but also caused the trench sides to subside. MUDDY Hell: Shocking 100-year-old pictures show the quagmires which British troops in the First World War had to fight, live, and march through. Sobering images from the Great War show soldiers battling free a car entrenched in deep mud; a smiling trooper putting on a brave face as he examines his flooded dugout on the Front Line; and an exhausted mule presumably drawing its last breaths as French soldiers desperately try and pull the doomed beast out of a deluged shell hole. Another brutal shot, part of the National Library of Scotland???s online collection, shows a struggling soldier attempting to drag a large gun along a sodden railway track surrounded by bog.
