How did the fighting in the first half of WW2 differ from the latter half for the average infantry soldier?

You would really need to restructure your question to get any traction. It is much much much too broad. For instance:

  1. For what country? Germany? France? US? Russia? Japan?
  2. In what theatre? In North Africa? Europe? Asia?
  3. What type of infantry? Regular army? Paratroopers? etc

Second: the premise of your question is that fighting for (an) infantry soldier was different in the first half vs the second half. Why do you think that? Where would you split up the halves? The middle of 1942? Why?
