Where did World

War I take place?

The British army fought during the war in France and Belgium.

The fighting conditions were strict and rough. They fought in hot weather, cold weather, rain, storms, etc... and on many different types of terrain.

Soldiers would have to focus on hygiene, due to lice-infested clothing. The clothes would be steam-cleaned. The more important issue was the food supply they were given and eaten. If they were out of date, the effects could be very dangerous.

The battles lasted for about 3-4 days. The British soldiers would mostly use the bolt-action rifle, which could kill a person up to 1,400 meters away. About 2941.334 people died during the war, and 8.904.000 people took part in World War I.
