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 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.
