PROS-the pros of trench warfare are that you are well covered from enemy fire, you have a relatively safe place to sleep and eat and you were able ‘to get a few good shots at the Germans’ as they might say.
CONS-The cons of trench warfare are the diseases, the stench of the dead bodies, the fact that it is a confined space making it prone to explosions and you can’t escape if the enemy invades the trench. There were many diseases in the trenches and many people died from sicknesses. The most common disease was trench foot. Trench foot is a disease that causes your foot to go numb, start to decay, swell up and possibly get gangrene. If the foot gets gangrene than it usually has to be amputated. Trench foot is caused by having cold and damp feet and while wearing constricting footwear.
