No Longer Human

 "If I were dead and buried

and I heard your voice

beneath the sod

my heart of dust

would still rejoice."

horny-in-a-hearse: 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 were treated for trench foot. Brigadier-General Frank Percy Crozier argued that: “ The fight against the condition known as trench-feet had been incessant and an uphill game.” i used to run this really crappy gore blog fun url though
