Re: Dead Soldier In Trench
Trench warfare had to suck.  The pointed stick man trap in the first pic is facinating. Never seen that before in trenches.. Kinda tells me that trench is right in badland territory. |

Re: Dead Soldier In Trench
The pointed sticks were implaced to protect against enemy invasion of their trench. Big group of scared men running through an open area, trying to find the entrance to the trench (only shelter/cover). I read a book about Ww1 trenches which stated germany would lean there dead men against these stick in hope an enemy would try and tackle the presummed alive and well defender.  |

Re: Dead Soldier In Trench
these photos were taken in 1865 during the siege of petersburg and are dead rebels. The end of the war closely resembled the trench warfare that emerged during WWI
