The men were living in them and they couldnt do much. Moving around and planning for attack were difficult, as well as the horrible living conditions with rodents and other nasty animals. The men couldnt so much as peek out of the trench without the fear of their head being blown off.

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 :)
