BATTLE OF THE SOME PICTURES

WORST BATTLES OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR FROM 1914-18

After the start of the first world war, their was 4 major battles that happened. These battles killed many lives and soliders were also hurt during the

war. The Great Battle of the Somme happened in 1915 which involved many soilders dying in this great

battle. Today, 100 years later on the sites are opened to the public to see the brutal and bloodest sites in

Northern France and Belgium.

THE MUDDY DAMP TRENCHESDuring World War 1, the men had to live in muddy, damp

wet trenches which supported them from being hit by rifles and guns.

The men would live in the trenches for 4 years with horrible rats and muddy damp ditches to sleep in. This would have been a horrible experience for the men to

sleep in.

MY EXPERINCES IN THE TRENCHES

In May 2012, I visited the Trenches in Ypres on a school trip based about the First World War.

When visiting the trenches, I saw a lot of tunnels and places where the men used to sleep. I also saw a dead rat

which didn’t impress me. I loved being in the trenches as it was very muddy and

damp but we had sunshine while visiting the sites. I also thought they were keeped very well.

END OF WORLD WAR 1- 1918On November 11th 1918 after 4 epic and horrific years at war, the war came to silence as men and children were

remembered at a service to commemorated the end of the war.

In 1920, the Armistice Day started a Remembrance Day which would lead on every Sunday near to the anniversary of the War. Today lots of Remembrance Services are held

across England and the world with poppies.
