Funk Holes

Funk holes were small areas scraped out of the side of a trench. When it was raining, soldiers would drape a waterproof sheet over the opening and would try to get some sleep. Some officers considered funk holes too dangerous and banned men from sleeping in them.

© John Simkin, September 1997 - June 2013
