Diary of a Wwi Soldier
Write a one or two paragraph diary entry explaining how the soldiers viewed their experience with their enemies. Mention in your diary the propaganda these men may have been subjected to and explain if and how their attitudes had changed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Diary,
It is 2:00 in the morning and most of our men are asleep in their dugouts - yet I could not sleep myself before writing to you of the wonderful events of Christmas Eve. In truth, what happened seems almost like a fairy tale, and if I hadn’t been through it myself, I would scarcely believe it. Just imagine: While you and the family sang christmas song together on the christmas eve in London, I did the same thing here with enemy soldiers on the battlefields of France! Doesn’t it sound absurd or somewhat unbelievable?
As I wrote before, there was some serious fighting of the late. The first battles of the war killed so many soldiers on both sides that held both sides back until new replacements could come from home. The terrible thing about waiting for the new replacements is knowing that any moment, a bomb might land and explode beside us in the trench, killing several men.
Though all this, we couldn’t help feeling curious about the German soldiers across the way. After all, they faced the same dangers we did. What’s more, their trenches are only about 50 yards from ours. Between us lay the No Man’s Land, where they were close enough that we can sometimes hear their voices.
Of course, we hated them when they killed our men, but all these fights came to a truce on the day of christmas when all of a sudden, the German troops began to put small Christmas trees, lit with candles, outside of their trenches. Then they began to sing songs. Across the way, in the “no man’s land” between them, came songs from the German troops. Then signboards arose up and down the trenches in a variety of shapes. They

    What was upsetting for the men, was that some World War veterans dismissed them, telling them they didn¡¦t know what it was like to fight in a ¡§real war¡¨. For most, it was an incomprehensible experience. As quoted in 1969 by Bill Dobell, a veteran from the Australian infantry, ¡§I looked at my grandfather, and he sort of looked at me, and then looked away. He had served in the 1st World War...and he¡¦s never told me much about it, but from what I can gather he saw quite a bit of action. I think I looked to him as if to say, ¡¥Well, what should I do? You ought to know.¡¦ But then he wouldn¡¦t know any better than I do.¡¨…

    I stood up with a groan. In the distance, I could hear the cracks of gunfire and the loud, heart-stopping sound of artillery hitting the ground. I couldn’t help but think that with every explosion I heard, men would die. It’s a thought that only us soldiers could understand. I crept along the trench, towards the bunk area. I turned into the small room. There was a dim, somewhat melancholy lantern lit in the far…

    Today we are having a day in bed. We were within 150 yards of the American trenches, and both sides were firing day and night, so you can tell we had a lively time, bullets flying in all directions. They made me duck a bit at first, but I soon got used to them, and did not take much notice after we had been there a few hours. Our squadron was lucky. We had three fellows and one officer wounded, but…

    Features of trenches included, sandbags, ammunition, dugouts, parapet, duckboard, fire steps and barbed wire. Trenches were a complex network and extended across many kilometres with the front line positioned to launch at the enemy. They were constructed in a zig zag structure. Communication trenches connected each line. They were expected to be temporary at the beginning of the war. The area between allies and Germans was called no man’s land. There was not set distance between the lines. No man’s land had deep craters, mud, heavy rain, artillery bombardment. Weaponry changed throughout the war, machine guns, rifles, grenades, flamethrowers, mortars and gas were used. The battle tactics began as offensive and later changed to defensive. The life in trenches was horrible, there were many rats, mud and diseases that were evident within the trenches. This lead to battle fatigue and shell shock.

    The World War I writings reveal a lot about the soldiers' emotional and psychological experience. The soldiers had to witness a lot terrible things and many soldiers experienced shellshock. The war caused soldiers to be alienated from society. The war forced soldiers to disregard their emotions and their civilization. The soldiers were forced to put on a false front. They had to tell people that the war was good and pretend it was an honor to fight in the war. These experiences are shown in the novel All Quiet on the Western Front, the movie The Great War, and the poems of Siegfried Sassoon.…

    I find that life in the front lines were critical to how the war was played out "there had been overwhelming setbacks... Was involving line of trenches close by... Three feet high above water". In the letter from Skipper F.A.C. Scrimager you could see a portion of the conditions that the troopers needed to experience. With these grimy, a malady for trenches, it needs sparing the injured practically inconceivable. Disease would have executed the men in the forefronts before the adversary could. If individuals in the trenches could get a perfect,…

    Ww1 Trench Life

    Soon after, the French did the same and dug trenches to take cover from German fire. Soldiers lived in the trenches for years on end and life was not easy. Mud in the trenches could reach over two feet deep and sometimes even drowned wounded men. The mud also caused trench foot, an infection caused by prolonged exposure to cold, wet and unsanitary conditions that sometimes led to amputation. The trenches were dug in a zigzag pattern to keep any sort of shell fire or explosions from spreading too far down the line, minimizing injury and or loss of life. Trenches were doug in sets of three main lines with sets of communication lines connecting them. The trench line furthest from the front was used for reserve troops. The next line was for travel and is where the majority of combat happened. The trench line closest to the front was referred to as the “Stand to”. This “Stand to” trench line was mostly used at sunrise and sunset. Many trenches started out as simply dirt, but as time went by soldiers had to adapt to making them their short term home. Trenches evolved with wooden walls, medical quarters, office quarters, some including beds, furniture, and even some electric amenities. Even with these WWI was a long and terrible war with extreme losses of life. Soldiers lived in the trenches of Europe for years on end and life wasn’t easy for any of them. They…

    Last of all is the trench itself. The trench presented on the picture is too small compared to the actual ones. As well as being too small it is also too straight and an actual trench would have been designed to be zigzagged for strategic and defensive reasons. The straight trenches in the picture would have easily been targeted and immediately destroyed. There are also no communication trenches, this makes us assume that the army is only made up of 5 men with no back ups and evidently enough that is…
