In year 5 we have been learning about World War One.

Here are some facts that I found out :

- Where possible , the floor of the trench was made by using wooden duckboards.

- The toilet had to be dug somewhere close to hand.

-To go to the war you have to be under 18-30 age.

- They lived on was tea and dog biscuits. If they got meat once a week they were lucky , but imagine trying to eat standing in a trench full of water with the smell of dead bodies nearby.

-Millions of rats infested the trenches. There were two main types: the brown and the black rat.
