Impact on Soldiers Trench Warfare
The impact of trench warfare on soldiers and their families was massive; it caused lots of deaths and injuries on the battlefields and also to the soldier's health. Trench warfare was used as a protection tactic to stop soldiers getting killed, it sure did that, but many soldiers died in the trenches as well because the trenches are as good as a death note. The trenches worked well by protecting soldiers from small artillery and enemy fire, but once a grenade or mustard gas landed in them the soldiers had nowhere to go. Information at >>

Impact on No Man's Land
The stretch of land between the front line trenches was dangerous. No Man's Land contained miles of barbed wire, hundreds of corpses, and land mines. Sometimes as narrow as 15 yards or as wide as several hundred yards, No Man's Land was heavily guarded by machine gun and sniper fire. Soldiers were forced to cross No Man's Land to advance or scout for enemy positions. Official truces were often necessary to retreaive the wounded or bury the dead. This also was a very deadly time in World War One. Information at >>
