the only way to stay in the trenches was to put dead soldiers. Oh, how it hurts me that I stood on my friends all this time. Being in the trenches with wet ground and dead bodies brought a lot of diseases. The diseases influenza, trench foot, typhoid, and trench fever almost got me sickened. There is also this deadly new thing called poison gas that came out. Poison gas was one of our enemies. After it came to your body it just ate up you skin, man you will not stand. Even the gas…

Soldiers that fought in the trenches had to face the constant fear of death and pain. They became very aware of their own mortality as they faced disease and bullets. Artillery and machine gun fire and barbed wire tore through their friends’ bodies and laid waste to beautiful landscapes. It would have been very easy to despair and feel as though the world around them were being destroyed. However, one soldier was able to find hope and encouragement, even when surrounded by this world of human…
