Trenches were about seven feet deep muddy holes that could stretch for miles. They were protected by barbed wire about six feet outside the trench and had holes dug in the side where the solders could rest. At the end of each units section there was a latrine (toilet) dug out, usually four to five feet deep.

What is a fiar step in WW1?
A fire-step in the trenches of WW1 was a raised platform on which a soldier could stand and shoot over the lip of the trench. The floor of the trench would be lower than the top of the fire-step to keep the soldier's head below the lip of the trench, so giving less of a target for an enemy sniper to shoot at.
