A trench is a hole that is much longer than it is wide, a narrow excavation.
The usual applications of the term are:
- the trenches used as manned fortifications, as in World War II
- deep underwater chasms that typically mark the subduction of oceanic plates

Trench warfare was a tactic widely used during World War I, as a means of cover. Soldiers would dig long trenches spanning parallel, across the battlefield. During the fight; opposing forces would advance or retreat from trench to trench.

The trenches were used for defense and cover, and were protected by barbed wire to ward off attacks. The trenches were also used to run communications, food, and supplies to the soldiers.

What is a reserve trench?
Reserve trenches were used as supplies for the trenches out the front. In world war one, they had come up with a technique of hiding in trenches before they fight. To do this properly, they had made them zig-zags. The trenches on the front line were where the soldiers would fight from. Reserve trenches were used in case these people had anything happen to them and they needed to use more trenches and more men. Throughout the war, the conditions of the front line trenches became worse as the communication and reserve trenches improved. I hope that helped :)
