Trench Foot Many soldiers fighting in the
First World War suffered from
trench foot. This was an
infection of the feet caused by
cold, wet and insanitary
conditions. In the trenches men
stood for hours on end in
waterlogged trenches without
being able to remove wet
socks or boots. The feet would gradually go numb and the skin would turn red or blue. If untreated, trench foot could turn gangrenous and result in amputation. Trench foot was a particular problem in the early stages of the war. For example, during the winter of 1914-15 over 20,000 men in the British Army were treated for trench foot.
