Trenches were long upen 5-foot deep ditches infantry soldiers worked from. They could remain hidden from enemy gunfire, yet peek above the top to fire and the enemy or throw grenades. It allowed officers to move among several soldiers without being exposed to the enemy.

What links the front line and support trenches?
communication trench links the front line and first support line trench supports trench.
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 :)
What were communication trenches used for?
They were used to communicate messages back and forth between the home military and the front line military.

Where were trenches in position to the enemy?
During World War I, trenches were for the most part located directly in front of the enemy's projected line of attack. Where possible, trenches were also located to the sides of enemy positions; however, many trenches (such as those used for supply- and communication-purposes) extended backwards from the front lines.

What were the dangers facing the soilders on the front line in the trenches?

What is a communications trench in World War I?
In the same trench, they'd probably just yell down the line or walk. If they were in different trenches, they'd send a runner, someone with a track or some sort of running background to pretty much dodge bullets to get the message to the other trench.

Why were the trenches built in the world war?
Trench warfare used several different types of trenches. Firing trenches were used by soldiers to protect themselves while firing their weapons at their enemy. Cover trenches were often built next to the firing trenches as a second line of defense in case the enemy captured the firing trench. Support trenches were used as rest areas for off-duty troops, who sometimes lived in dugouts excavated in the sides of the trench. A network of reserve and communications trenches was used to bring supplies and fresh troops to the front.
