WW1 Source Assessment A military band and marching soldiers are always an inspiring sight, but this was for real – they were off to war and how we youngsters envied them... And to tell you the truth this is why I wanted to enlist – the glamour – to be in uniform – to take part in a great adventure was as much the reason for so many youths joining up as any sense of patriotism... *Patriotism = love and devotion to your country.

‘It was quite the worse trench I have ever seen. A number of men were in it, standing and leaning, silently enduring the following conditions. It was quite dark. The enemy were about two hundred yards away, or rather less. It was raining, and the trench contained nearly a metre of water. The men, therefore, were standing up to the waist in water. They were all wet through and through, with a great deal of their equipment below the water at the bottom of the trench. There they were, taking it all as a necessary part of a great game; not a grumble nor a comment.’ Source C: An account of Trench life by Bruce Bairnsfather, in 1928. He was a soldier during WW1, Q3.
