f you have never had trench feet described to you. I will tell you. Your feet swell to two or three times
their normal size and go completely dead. You could stick a bayonet into them and not feel a thing. If you
are fortunate enough not to lose your feet and the swelling begins to go down. It is then that the intolerable,
indescribable agony begins. I have heard men cry and even scream with the pain and many had to have
their feet and legs amputated.
