-2 marks 2)breifly discuss two things you can't learn about life on the western front during WWI

1) One thing you can learn about life on the Western front during WWI from Source A is that many, many British men were mowed down by machine gun fire in an attempt to cross “no-mans land” and defeat the enemy. The source says, “The first line appeared with no end from left to right. It was quickly followed by second, then a third and a fourth...” Another thing you can learn is the men were hurrying: “the machine guns were pulled out of dugouts and hurriedly placed in position.” Third, they had to be always ready.

2) One thing you can't learn is how their life is not battling. Another is you don't know the British perspective.
