A trench board was used in trenches to keep soldiers from touching the water that normally settled on the bottom of the trenches during the rainy season..
I'm not sure exactly the answer to your question would be since i'm not sure why a bullet would be hitting a soldier in the chest if he is laying on the bottom a trench.
I will give you some calipers for WWI guns that may be used inside a trench... however there are 70 different rifles and handguns so... i can't even be sure the few I give you is correct either.
7.62×54mmR for Rifles
the Browning hand guns which are the most popular officers is a .32 caliper
The Colt model M1911 which was popular with American officers was a .45 caliper
and the Colt Model 1917 which is a .32 Caliper.
The Germans used the Luger P08 also which is a 7.65mm round.
