Mud, blood, muck, rats, roaches, death and destruction.
The war to end all wars, as politicians called it, involved fighting on a scale never before seen in the world. It left many dead. It also left many maimed, scared for life, for mere inches of ground at a time.
Those men that returned were never quite the same again, not only remembering the horrors of war that they saw, but also the death of their friends right next to them.
Moving on from the doom and gloom, however, the First World War also gave us many slang terms that we still use today. Some others, we may have heard before but were never sure of the meaning.
Well, in this quiz we explore those bits of slang that originated in the mud, muck and blood of the Western Front. Spoken by common soldiers and officers alike, this slang was used to convey certain meanings or even used to name things.
But how many terms have you heard before, much less understand? Some are extremely easy to work out, while others will have you stumped, that's for sure. Just take your time and enjoy it! Good luck - batten down the hatches and do your best!
