P.S. Why did so many British in the trenches sleep with a blanket over thier head?
After a couple of guesses I tell you the answer if someone hasn't come up with it.

Hi all,
As nobody took a gander at the question, I'll answer it.
To keep the rats off of them as them slept. Apparently, the rats at the front trenches were as big as cats and for some unknown reason if you slept with a blanket over your head, the rats wouldn't bother you. Other then their little(big) feet steppin' all over you on the way to where ever. At least that is what Gramps use to tell me and even after the war,(my grandmother confirmed) that he slept with a sheet over his head till the day he passed into history.
