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 :)

∙ 12y agoA 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
