World War One Words Starting With the Letter O



On your own
- At liberty. Your time is your own.


Out or over there
- Somewhere in France.


Over the Top
- to go over the top meant to climb over the top of one's own trenches into no-man's land in order to attack the opposing side's trenches. A soldier's chances of surviving such an attack were low as most attackers were killed or wounded by machine gun fire coming from the opposing side's trenches.
