Best Answer

Trenches would be about 9ft deep and up to 6 ft wide. These trenches weren't that big considering that hundreds of soldiers would be there waiting for the moment in which they were attacked or when they would attack. These trenches would offer cover against bombs and grenades but wouldn't be a safe place to be when it came to the gas that the enemy's would throw at each other. The gas would settle in these trenches for hours or even days before going away.
