“When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also
gazes into you…” Fredrick William Nietzsche
Winter, 1914-15, stalemate. Trenches. This was
definitely the abyss. But what was it like for the men who stood by their
country, the eager people who could not wait to be part of this war. But
did these people know what was coming to them in the trenches, in the
abyss? - Russell Gay |

War, what is it good for?
So
in the end, there were many problems for troops in WW1. Had the troops
foreseen the tremendous suffering, it is doubtful that many of the troops
would have so eagerly queued to fight. There were many unnecessary
casualties in the First World War. Bad planning mainly caused these. But
dead or alive, all troops would have suffered at one point or another,
fighting in the trenches, gazing into the abyss. - Russell Gay
