Blood and Mud - Trench Warfare in the West 1914 - 1918 The long shadow of the struggle on the Western Front was to haunt succeeding generations. The horrors of the trench warfare and the slaughter of millions in futile attacks against barbed wire and machine-guns, came as a four-year nightmare to men who had marched cheerfully to war in 1914 confident that it would all be over by Christmas. The programme tells the story of bloody campaigns in northern France, the nature of trench warfare, and the weapons with which the stalemate was finally broken.
