They were used to communicate messages back and forth between the home military and the front line military.
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 :)
The three rows of trenches covered between 200 and 500 yards of ground. Communication trenches, were dug at an angle to the frontline trench and was used to transport men, equipment and food supplies.
communication trench links the front line and first support line trench supports trench.
Barbed wire was used to protect the trenches.
No. Trenches were used in wars as far back as history is recorded. Trenches were used in the Revolutionary war in the US. Some of these trenches can still be seen at the scene of some battlefields such as Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and Yorktown Virginia.

A reserve tranch was one of three main trenches, all connected up by communication trenches. The reserve trenches were at the back and, from the name, were used as reserves. The next trenches were support trenches, to support the fighting. Then you had the Front trenches, right next to No Man's Land. Hope this helped :D

They were the western front. But the different trenches were front line trenches, communication trenches.
Communication trenches (for runners).
communication trench links the front line and first support line trench supports trench.
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.
Barbed wire was used to protect the trenches.
Trenches were used in both WWI and WWII.
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.
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.
