Soldiers Drown in Mud Filled Trenches Report
Lieutenant Charles Flamand told the Special Aid Society for American Preparedness that mud filled trenches on European battlefields caused many drownings. He described six to eight day trenchings with scarce sleep and food, noting soldiers often stood in water waist deep and trenches could act as quicksand. He praised Wilson and neutrality, while predicting Germany's collapse as it requisitions food and loses Verdun.
