This is essentially a comparison question:

Death caused by the trench conditions VERSUS deaths caused by other things.

The trenches caused deaths by things like disease, trenchfoot, drowning in the mud etc...
So start off by talking about these in turn, and giving facts and quotes, and explaining how they caused death.

Miss a couple of lines.

Then talk about all the other things that caused deaths -- artillery bombardments, attacks against machine gun posts, venereal disease, people shot for cowardice and nervous breakdown, enemy raids etc.
Talk about these in turn, giving facts and quotes, and explaining how they caused death.

Miss a couple of lines.

Come to a conclusion saying which was the greater cause of death - the trenches themselves, or all the other things ... and expln WHY.



For facts and quotes, you will find all nd more than you need if you do a forum search on: trenches.
Or by doing google search for: world war one trenches
