        The conditions for the soldiers during the war were shocking, in the trenches there was mice everywhere feeding on the rotting bodies of fallen soldiers. The mice also passed diseases around which gave the soldiers muscle pains and fevers. The constant exposure to cold and moisture gave the soldiers something called trench foot which actually was their feet rotting. All of this disease and infection led to a lot of soldiers dying before they even got to battle and this includes on the way to the warzones or on the boats. https://www.warmuseum.ca/firstworldwar/history/life-at-the-front/trench-conditions/rats-lice-and-exhaustion/
