What are support trenches WW1?
During World War I, "support trenches" were found throughout the theaters of the war wherever trench-lines were constructed. Running perpendicular and parallel both to the main defense-line trenches, support trenches enabled front-line troops to communicate with each other, receive supplies, and organize for coming battles without being in the line of fire of the enemy across the (often quite narrow) "no man's land" between enemy lines.
Where did the line of trenches stretch 600 miles across during World War 1?
The Front.
Battle line running behind the German trenches?
During World War I, but also true for any conflict in which trench-warfare is a staple, the battle line (or lines) running behind the German trenches was usually utilized as either a complementary defense line or as a communication conduit. Trenches such as these were used for all manner of purposes during the conflict in support of the trench-line that directly faced the enemy's foremost line of 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.
What is traverses in world war woeld 1?
Front-line trenches were not dug in straight lines. Otherwise, if the enemy had a successive offensive, and got into your trenches, they could shoot straight along the line. The French tended to build zig-zag trenches. However, the British Army preferred a system where each trench was dug with alternate fire-bays and traverses. Whereas fire-bays were straight sections of trenches, traverses were built at angles. This limited the effect of enfilade fire or shell-burst

What was the series of trenches dug by both sides in northern France?
They were the western front. But the different trenches were front line trenches, communication trenches.
Did the trenches in World War 1 have a hierarchy?
There were differences in the function and importance of trenches. The first one (closest to the enemy) was also called the Front Line or the Fire Line. A 100 yards behind it you had the support trench and again some 100 yards behind, the reserve trench. And then you had the connecting trenches, who were just there so you could get from one trench to the other. There wasn't a real 'hierarchy' anmong trenches: the front line was most important for fighting, but the other two were important for their support facilities, radio and command rooms and as places for soldiers to rest from front line duties.
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 the dangers facing the soilders on the front line in the trenches?

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 reserve trenches in World War 1?
the reserve trench were the lin eof trenchs that are behind the front lin trench. if or when the front line trench is captured, the solidiers can use the reserve trench line and the substitute front line
