WW1 Ambulance Drivers

[|Standard ambulance truck] neat picture. Talk to me about how to cite this.

Being that there is limited info on WW1 Ambulance drivers i have narrowed it down to medical problems during WW1 that would occur in trench's and in other areas and other areas of fighting.

Besides fighting the each other both sides were forced to fight the disease's they encountered everyday in the trenches.

List of many diseases that were present in the trench's

 * Mustard Gas-** even though this was a weapon used mainly by axis forces this gas was so volatile that even being in the surrounding area would be enough for the gas particles to get into the body and eat away at flesh. This ,like surgery, also increased the chance of infection and disease.

1.Writing tools-order of words- order words for emphasis - strong words at end and beginning
 * Wiki Writing Tools**

2.Never use the passive verbs when you can use the active

3. Take it easy on the 'ings.when ing is added to a verb it adds a another syllable. prefer the simple present of the past.

__**Thesis:**__ Between the years of 1914 and 1918, World War One, man once again had to come face to face with a enemy that has lasted the test of time. This was one enemy that had the potential to wipe out large amounts of the human population in a given amount of time. This common enemy shared is the threat of disease. Diseases have plagued man kind since the beginning and this time was no exception. During World War One a new type of fighting style came to fruition. This was called trench warfare. This style of fighting had many advantages but more disadvantages come with it. The advantages of it was that it protected troops, gave armies front line commands closer to the battle, provided hard targets overtake once dug in and brought on the invention of longer ranged more powerful weapons. While these benefited both sides to certain extents, the disadvantages of trenches increase the threat of disease if they were not up kept. This wasn’t prevalent in many allied trenches as they took scores of casualties to disease rather than actually fighting. Diseases increased the death rate throughout World War 1.
