Why was the british front line trench never built in a straight line?
most combatants at that time NEVER built straight trench's. 1. If a shell struck in to the trench, the shrapnel would go flying everywhere in the trench if it was in a straight line, the "curve" in the trench would deflect the shrapnel. 2. if part of the trench was overrun, resistance could still continue with a zigzag trench. If it was in a straight line, enemy soldiers could just fire there guns in a straight line and kill everyone easily.

What was life like in the living quarters on the front line in WW1?
Living in a trench was very wet, so wet that your feet would start to rot. They would start to rot because you would be in the front line of the trench for 1-2 weeks at a time before going to the tent area or the back area of the trench. What makes life harder in the front line of the trench is the fact that you never know when or where a bomb is going to come from. If you tried to escape and run into no mans land, then you would be killed because men with machine guns would win against a man with only a knife.
