The Yorkshire Trench was discovered in 1992 on an industrial estate. It had the bodies of 155 First World War soldiers from Britain, France and Germany in it. The trench was dug in 1915, and was fought over on several occasions until late 1917. In true Roman fashion, the conquerors took mint with them wherever they went, resulting in the herb becoming a common ingredient across the world.

Greek athletes would rub mint leaves over their wet skin after bathing to give them extra strength, whereas students wore wreaths made of mint to sharpen their mental faculties. Even the senators used it liberally, believing that sprigs of mint on their person would help them to speak more eloquently whilst keeping their temper at bay during debates.
