• “We dug through the mud and muck trying to get deeper and deeper…away from the shells and machine guns. We dug through mud, rocks, and bodies, it was impossible not to dig through rotting bodies…they were everywhere…..”

Trench Weapons
• Guns were too long and fired too slow for fighting in the trenches
![Page 18: WWI Combat **ONLY copy down what is in BLUE](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c76550346895da60b3b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

When men became caught on the wire they were easy targets

Poison Gas

Protection from Gas
• At first there was no such thing as a “gas mask” – someone figured out that if you covered your face with a rag soaked in urine it protected you
• Then they invented gas masks! Wow that must have been a relief!
• No true “protection” from mustard gas
