1. They faced snipers sniping at them, rising waters giving them frostbite, the smell of dead bodies, the rats, and the green gas that came in, which made them have to wear a mask, and if not have to cover their face with their urine, the noise from bombs, and having to switch roles on sleeping and on the lookout.

1. They faced unsanitary conditions like not being able to bath and having lice. They also faced being bombed at any second, the sounds of bombs, smell of decaying corpses, rats, green gas, rising water in the trenches, and frostbitten feet from the water, mud that can suck you in,

1. The trenches were filled with water most of the time. And when it rained it got really muddy. The soldiers had to use the restroom together. They had to pee and poo together in the holes they made for the restrooms. If a soldier didn't get their gas mask on quickly, they had to pee on a handkerchief and put it over their mouth. The ones who survived doing that were blinded forever by the gas.

1. The wet, muddy, and horrible living environment. Soldiers had to sleep and eat in these conditions. There was no privacy using the restroom and you were also under threat of a sniper, gas attack, artillery, and possibly an assault. Emergency bunkers were cramped and dead bodies rotted everywhere, leaving a horrid smell.

1. One of the things soldiers faced while living in the trenches was the inability to have an actual place to do their business. Instead of toilets, they had to dig a large hole and do their business. They also didn't have a proper place to sleep, so some would sleep while standing or find themselves a wall to rest against. Whenever they try to sleep, they hear the shelling of bombs every minute. Soldiers in the trenches also lived with the fear of being gassed. Diseases and germs also filled the trench causing, trench foot and trench fever to infiltrate the soldiers. Rats would also live throughout the trenches and be abnormally big due to a large amount of trashy food. Finally, they lived with the fear and anxiety of being attacked at any moment and possibly losing their friends to attacks.

1. Along with the physical challenges, soldiers had to live in constant danger. The trenches offered some defense against enemy attacks, but the were constantly exposed to artillery barrages and sniper fire.Continuous shelling caused significant damage and fatalities. Soldiers endured an ongoing fear of surprise attacks because they had no idea when the next one would occur. They suffered from significant levels of exhaustion and emotional stress as a result of the stress and anxiety brought on by this ongoing threat to their mental health. Sleep and rest were luxuries that soldiers in the trenches could rarely afford. They had to be continually on guard, prepared to counter enemy advances or artillery bombardment due to the persistent threat. It was practically impossible to find silence because the air was filled with the sound of gunfire and explosions. Due to lack of adequate sleep, the troops' physical and mental health suffered, resulting in weariness.

1) The problems that the soldiers had to face fighting and living in the trenches were lack of sleep, infested with rats, and the trenches would be filled with ice and mud. There was also no restrooms around the trenches so therefore men had to dump their waste's in the trenches.

1. Along with the constant threat of gunfire and capture, soldiers also had to worry about the overpowering odor of decaying corpses, lingering gas, open latrines, wet clothing, and dirty bodies. Front-line soldiers had to construct little waste pits in their trenches because the major latrines were beyond the lines.

1. One of the biggest problems that the soldiers faced was the horrible living environment. They barely had time to sleep and also the open free bathroom have lack of privacy which stinks, too. On the other hand, the soldiers had to worry about being boomed shoot and fire at anytime.
