24hr Trench: A Day in the Life of a Frontline Tommy

During the Great War millions of men lived in the trenches of the Western Front. It is almost impossible for us to really understand how they coped in such a confined space with the constant terror of enemy attack. Now, Andy Robertshaw and a group of soldiers, archaeologists, and historians use official manuals and diaries to recreate their daily lives, answering the questions: How do you go to the loo? How do you wash your clothes? How clean can you really get in a trench? How easy is it to sleep? How do you keep yourself entertained? and many more. Hour-by-hour, the Tommy's day unfolds through stunning colour photographs in this groundbreaking experiment in Great War history.
