Foot inspection. US Army soldiers lined up in preparation for a foot inspection. The inspections were carried out to diagnose trench foot,a condition caused by prolonged exposure to damp,cold and unsanitary conditions. Affected feet would swell,smell,and develop sores and gangrene. If treated in time,complete recovery was possible. If left untreated,gangrene could develop,and the foot would be amputated. It is estimated that 74,000 allied troops had been affected by trench foot by the end of the First World War (1914-1918) | |
