Did the trenches in World War 1 have a hierarchy?
There were differences in the function and importance of trenches. The first one (closest to the enemy) was also called the Front Line or the Fire Line.

And then you had the connecting trenches, who were just there so you could get from one trench to the other. There wasn't a real 'hierarchy' anmong trenches: the front line was most important for fighting, but the other two were important for their support facilities, radio and command rooms and as places for soldiers to rest from front line duties.
