Women Living Conditions
Their living conditions were very unpleasant as in summer the heat would be extreme all day and night.
Then in winter, the days would be freezing cold. As most women were involved in nursing and cooking during World War I they were mostly located in the trenches.
The conditions in the trenches were very unhygienic as they were filled with stagnant water and critters such as flies, lice, mosquitoes and rats.
There was also rotting food and dead bodies piled across the area between the trenches called ‘No Man’s land’. This caused an unpleasant smell and diseases quickly spread.
