How big would a World War 1 trench have been width wise?
BabeeszILYx
They were around 7ft deep and they went on for 475 miles! (600km)
Actually the German trenches were a lot better and they were fortified with concrete bunkers and had deep dugouts as the Germans were trying to keep hold of land they had already gained. They had also got first pick of the ground so their trenches were on the higher, dryer ground.
Allied trenches were not even allowed to be comfortable as Senior officers said they would not be staying long so there was no need to make them comfortable and they were built in less defensive positions on the low,muddy ground without any bunkers.
In fact some of the latrines (toilets) were built towards no mans land on the Allied forces because generals were complaining at men taking too long to relieve themselves. Imagine the pressure.

∙ 14y agoTrench width increased over the period of the war. At the very beginning of the war trenches were simple affairs that were just big enough for a man to hide in. They increased in size through the war, became multilayered, and had support or feeder trenches. With the introduction of tanks that could cross the current width of trenches, the trenches grew even wider so that the tanks could not cross.
