Along the nearly 15,000 miles of trenches on the western front in the Great War of 1914-1918, a condition known as "trench foot" caused serious attrition among the fighting troops and resulted in swollen limbs, impaired sensory nerves, inflammation, and even loss of tissue through gangrene. Physicians, sanitarians, and military officers explored numerous theories regarding etiology and treatment before focusing on a combined regimen of common-sense hygiene and strict military discipline.
在1914年至1918年第一次世界大战的西线战场上，沿着近15000英里长的战壕，一种被称为“战壕足”的病症给参战部队造成了严重减员，导致肢体肿胀、感觉神经受损、炎症，甚至因坏疽而组织坏死。在专注于常识性卫生和严格军事纪律相结合的治疗方案之前，医生、卫生学家和军官们探讨了许多关于病因和治疗的理论。
