One of the most important aspects of World War One’s trench warfare was trench warfare itself. This military tactic, which dates back to the Civil War, has soldiers dig ditches as a means of defense and as a last-ditch effort. Troop movements in Belgium and northern France necessitated weeks-long stays in trenches. The First World War’s massive number of casualties was directly related to trench warfare. These were the men who had to come out of the trenches to face the oncoming forces. Because they were in a “no man’s land,” they were easy targets for the attackers’ gunfire.

Elizabeth Taylor lived a life that few people will ever forget. It wasn’t until the 1950s that she really broke through as an actress, starring in the film Giant alongside Rock Hudson and James Dean. The actress once confessed that she didn’t watch her own films, preferring to savor the memories of the making of them instead. She shared, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Giant. I don’t look at old movies of myself. I don’t even look at new ones of myself. But I loved Jimmy and I loved Rock. And I was the last person Jimmy was with before he drove to his death…But that was a private, personal moment.”
