Yes. The digging of trenches, as well as other manual labour duties were known as "fatigues".

Such tasks were very unpopular with soldiers, expecially units who had been relieved from front line duty for "rest" who often spent their time building fortifications, and led to resentment among some allied troops. Arthur Currie is quoted as saying to his Canadian soldiers, "I know I can count on you to fight to the last ditch, but I'm damned if I can get you to DIG that ditch!"
