Soldiers in France would spend their days and nights in mud-filled trenches that reeked of urine, poisonous gas, wet sandbags, and decomposing bodies
Soldiers fought against rain, cold, lice, rats, trench mouth, gangrene, and dysentery as well as the constant threat of death from the enemy
Many soldiers returned home with some form of psychological trauma or PTSD

Look out for the difference in the narrator’s perception of war versus how people back home view it. There’s a big difference there that we’ll talk about as we read. Once we finish reading, take time to complete the Point of View Chart. Consider not only Kreb’s and other’s views of war, but also what Hemingway might be trying to say through these differing reactions. Note: Make sure each section of your chart includes textual evidence to support your responses. 
