"WAR IS HELL"

​WWI was one of the most catastrophic events in human history. But soldiers at the front lines who spent life in the trenches lived through a particularly harrowing war experience. Their stories reveal an experience that was often bleak, but also movingly human. As the conflict became deadlocked in 1914 and the front seemed immovable, both sides bunkered down. Trenches were a series of paths dug into the ground at the front line that gave soldiers cover and protection from enemy fire. British, French, German, Russian, and Ottoman forces alike used them, and men on the Western and Eastern fronts, as well as the Middle Eastern theater, were tucked away in muddy trenches.

​The empty space between opposing lines became known as "No Man's Land," a barbed-wire-laden expanse of land that was nearly impossible to cross. During battles like Verdun, soldiers crawled out of trenches in a bid to make it across No Man's Land and push back the enemy to gain a sliver of ground.

Images taken from the World War One Trench Experience and Exhibition Gallery:
Cavan County Museum is home to the largest outdoor replica trench open to the public in Ireland and the UK. The Trench is becoming a must-see attraction for visitors since it opened in August 2014 and includes sound and visual effects to enhance the experience and educate visitors on life in the trenches in World War One. The trench, built to the specifications and manuals of the Irish Guards and used by the Royal Irish Fusiliers at the Battle of the Somme 1916 is over 350m long and includes frontline, communication and support trenches. Over 6000 sand bags were used in its construction.
