The White Feather: Women in World War 1 Trenches

1. World War 1.

2. The white feather. In world war 1 every man had to enter the war because the didn’t have enough people to fight. The white feather was given to men who didn’t go into the war because they were too scared. The white feather was the biggest insult you could have. It means you are a coward because you didn’t enter the war when everyone else did.

3. THE WHITE FEATHER.

4. Women In The War. When the men went off to fight at war all the women had to do all the mens jobs like factory work. Women were given the job of driving trucks around, in the war because all the men were fighting. When the war was over the popularity of men was much less than womens popularity there for only a couple of women could have a relationship with men. Only 1 man in every 5 women lived.

6. Life In The Trenches. Life in the trenches isn’t what all expected it to be. You could get lots of diseases like trench foot. If you were to build a trench you would spend about 3-4 days building it. Living in the trench wasn’t very nice because you wouldn’t have clean clothes and fresh food and water to have. The food they had was horrible, because all the rations had to be deported from different countries over sea’s and some food became mouldy with the long journeys.
