Fox holes were not in the trenches. If you were caught in the open when an enemy barrage or bombardment came in you were in trouble. Your only chance would be to dig a hole big enough to get your body down below ground level very quickly, this is a fox hole. Often the only thing to dig with is a bayonet, it does not take as long as you think. Believe me, its amazing how quick you can do it when somebody is trying to kill you.
