Two words: Trench Warfare.
The area between the trenches in WWI was called No Man's Land. It was called this because it was very dangerous if you were a soldier in No Man's Land. There were mines, and constant machine gun fire.
It's called the 38th Parallel, or the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
Bolt action rifles and machine guns
In trench warfare, soldiers' trenches were typically separated by a stretch of land known as "no man's land." This area, which varied in width, was often filled with obstacles like barbed wire and land mines, making it perilous to cross. The division between trenches created a buffer zone where intense fighting and artillery bombardments frequently occurred, contributing to the stalemate characteristic of World War I. The separation also served to reduce the risk of enemy infiltration between opposing forces.
The Mines Act of 1842 forbid employing children under age 10, and for all women, to work in mines. It should be noted that England mines today and in 1842 have extensive coal mines.

It's called the 38th Parallel, or the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
Barbed wire was rarely the only cause of a casualty. Usually it was that by getting caught in the wire or going out of your way to avoid it you'd leave yourself open to the new methods of warfare that became popular during WWI, namely machine guns, toxic gas, and explosives. Mines and other traps were often placed with the wire as well. There are a few instances where people were seriously injured by barbed wire and as a result bled to death or died from infection, but barbed wire was more a strategy to hinder movement than lower numbers
The trenches of World War I were typically surrounded by barbed wire barriers, designed to impede enemy movement and protect soldiers from attacks. In addition to barbed wire, the area around the trenches often featured obstacles like land mines and shell craters, creating a dangerous no-man's land. This environment made it difficult for troops to advance or retreat safely, contributing to the stalemate that characterized much of the war.
