No man's land

No man's land is the place between the two trench warfares, you can read more about the trench warfares on our side. It is a place where hundreds of people died. No man's land was in France all the way from the North Sea coast through Ypres and inside France and the villages Soissons, Reims, Verdun and St. Mihiel Nancy. There where soldiers who had to pick opp the dead bodies of fallen soldiers who had been sent up to run over and kill as many people as possible. They picked up the bodies to send them to the person’s family. In the night both sides had soldiers pick up bodies and sometimes the soldiers from both sides met and they had to gamble on whether to walk away or to fight with hands because they could not use guns cause they would wake up the others and you would get killed by machine guns. This was a big risk because if you decided to walk away the other soldier could attack you. And another time they came to deadman's land was at the first Christmas where all the soldiers came together and sang songs and celebrated, and the next day they tried to kill each other. No man’s land was a place where nothing could live because there were bomb holes, deadly gases, poisonous water pits, dirt, dead bodies and bombs. It can also be called Dead man's land.
