Warm front

begin then, trenches had been used in the U.S civil war, and the Russian-Japanese war. The trenches were the front lines, the most dangerous places to be. Behind the front lines was a mass supply of many things like training establishment’s stores, workshops, Head-quarters and many other elements that would be needed in a 1918 war. The first trenches in world war one were dug on the western front on September the 15th 1914. 2. What were the conditions like in the trenches? The conditions in a…

World War I was a conflict that claimed the lives of millions of soldiers and altered the lives of countless others. Shortly after the War, two novels surfaced, Generals Die In Bed by Charles Yale Harrison and All Quiet On The Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque, that became influential in our understanding of how the soldiers lived. Each novel provides a firsthand account from a soldier’s point of view on one of the most brutal wars ever to have been fought. The novels portray war without…

The last few days of my life have been something new to me. I truly know now what I’ve been taking for granted. The war isn’t the great adventure it seemed to be at first. In the past battle at Vimy, I’ve witnessed the death of thousands of young men just like me. During the nights of the battle, the constant deafening noises of the enemy shells, bombs, and explosives made gave me nightmares. The trenches would be infested by rats and maggots who would swarm the dead bodies. This would frighten…

He intuitively brought back his hands away from the line of fire, and hesitantly waved it in front of him. He was so pleased. He leaped back to the ground just as the screeching of an artillery shell drifted above his head. He quickly looked up before grabbing his helmet. “Well, that was bloody close, aye mate?” Jimmy turned around and looked…

“The War to End All Wars”. That’s what they called World War I when it was over. Why did they call it that though? Millions of people were fighting wars with their emotions, including several who were still fighting to fare back home and to lead normal lives. Millions of men died, as abundantly as large numbers increased missing. Still other people were severely injured. Thousands of girls still had troublesome lives. Let me show you how. Girls had to face heaps. They had school to worry about,…

shelling has left the area surrounding the trench pock marked with craters. Rainwater has filled many of the craters. Everything is dirty from the dirt that was kicked up from the explosions of the shells. Some sections of the barbed wire line in front of the trench are mangled from explosions. The trench itself is left relatively unscathed with the exception of places where shells landed nearby. Being in a trench keeps me and my fellow men relatively safe during the shelling.…

Family, Love, and War The photograph “Wait For Me Daddy” was taken by Claude P. Dettloff on October 1, 1940 in Westminster, Canada. The photo was taken around the time of World War 2 where many men were sent to fight in the war leaving behind their grieving families. Most war photos come off as sad or violent to most people but this particular photo gave me the feeling of happiness more than anything, showing the love between a father and his child instead. It is a black and white photograph…

In Erich Remarque’s novel, All Quiet on the Western Front, the author uses metaphor and personification to convey Paul Baumer’s loss of self. Paul Baumer, the protagonist of the novel, joins the war as an innocent twenty year old boy who enjoys writing poetry, but transforms into a detached, stiff man who finds trouble relating to normal, innocent civilians. After witnessing plenty of bloodshed and catastrophe, Paul’s emotional connection to his humanity gradually dissolves. The burdens of war…
