Men were required to stand guard in water that gathered at the bottom of their trenches as deep as their knees or higher. This led to many men developing a condition called trench foot. This nasty situation caused the foot to swell up. You would also lose all feeling in your foot. The most painful aspect of trench foot came when the swelling started to go down.

If you have never had trench feet described to you. I will tell you. Your feet swell to two or three times their normal size and go completely dead. You could stick a bayonet into them and not feel a thing. If you are fortunate enough not to lose your feet and the swelling begins to go down. It is then that the intolerable, indescribable agony begins. I have heard men cry and even scream with the pain and many had to have their feet and legs amputated.
