Trench newspaper

They differ from the official military newspapers in that they were produced within the ranks or by private citizens.

[1] Main topic of the trench newspapers were the soldiers themselves and the conditions they found themselves in.

Trench newspapers offered some relief to the soldiers and helped to keep morale high.

The production and distribution of trench newspapers was dependent on the situation at the front and the available supplies.

Where no printing press was available, trench papers were typed or handwritten, and then multiplied using a mimeograph machine.
