Sample introduction 1
World War One was fought across various fronts in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The experiences of different people on these fronts varied. Often they faced challenges with the terrain and the environment with some soldiers battling in extreme heat and others in muddy, wet trenches. The tactics and type of warfare used by different armies also varied and as such they had a different experience with some fighting on land, some at sea and others in the air. Finally, life within the trenches can also be contrasted for many soldiers depending on where they were located with hygiene, health and access to medical support.
