No man's land

During World War I, "No Man's Land" referred to the area of land between the trenches of opposing armies. It was a barren and desolate expanse, often littered with barbed wire, shell craters, and unexploded ordnance. Crossing No Man's Land was extremely perilous due to the constant threat of enemy fire, making it a symbol of the futility and devastation of the war.
