How battles were fought The way trench battles were fought contributed greatly to the slaughter of men. This was partly because men were used up in numbers rather than individuals. The biggest problem though, was that the generals had no idea how to organise a successful battle and hadn't even visited the battle site before hand. "He didn't ever go up to the front line. He didn't go into the trenches and dirty his boots. Haig had no comprehension of what he was sending men into."
