The trenches in Gallipoli were primarily dug by soldiers from both the Allied and Ottoman forces during the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I, which took place from April 1915 to January 1916. Soldiers used hand tools like shovels and picks to create the extensive network of trenches, which were essential for protection against enemy fire and to establish defensive positions. The challenging terrain and harsh conditions further complicated the digging efforts, leading to the construction of complex trench systems that included communication trenches, fire trenches, and support areas.
