Trenches were originally dug as temporary cover for infantry, offering protection from rapid-fire machine guns and rifles. They also allowed better communication between their army and safety when patrolling their side. Originally dug as temporary ditches, they became very advanced as the battles progressed. they were dug in a zigzag pattern so if the front line was breached the enemy could not fire straight down the trench
