A trench board was used in trenches to keep soldiers from touching the water that normally settled on the bottom of the trenches during the rainy season..
I'm not sure exactly the answer to your question would be since i'm not sure why a bullet would be hitting a soldier in the chest if he is laying on the bottom a trench.
I will give you some calipers for WWI guns that may be used inside a trench... however there are 70 different rifles and handguns so... i can't even be sure the few I give you is correct either.
7.62×54mmR for Rifles
the Browning hand guns which are the most popular officers is a .32 caliper
The Colt model M1911 which was popular with American officers was a .45 caliper
and the Colt Model 1917 which is a .32 Caliper.
The Germans used the Luger P08 also which is a 7.65mm round.
The Sand Bag Wall, which was put up in defense of this, prevented bullets from striking a soldier's chest when he is on the trench board (also known as fire step). Soldiers were able to fire at the enemy, while being protected.
When a soldier is on the trench board, several factors can prevent bullets from striking their chest. The trench itself offers protection by providing a low profile, allowing soldiers to remain shielded behind the earthen walls. Additionally, protective gear such as body armor and helmets can help absorb or deflect the impact of bullets. Lastly, the angle of fire and the position of the enemy can also play a role in reducing direct hits.
Soldiers on the trench board, or fire step, are typically protected from bullets by the design of the trench itself, which provides cover from enemy fire. The trench walls create a barrier that can deflect or absorb some of the impact from incoming rounds. Additionally, soldiers often wear protective gear, such as body armor, which further minimizes the risk of injury. The use of tactics, such as peeking over the edge only briefly, also helps reduce exposure to enemy fire.
In order to protect themselves from enemy fire, soldiers on both sides "dug in." They first built shallow slit trenches and rifle pits, and then as the once mobile lines of war became deadlocked, the trenches became deeper and more complex. Basically, a trench protected a soldier from flying bullets and shells.
During World War I, yet true for any military conflict involved trenches, soldiers survived the trench-warfare conditions through a variety of means. Above all, they kept their heads down; that is, they made use of their below-ground position to avoid enemy bullets.

When a soldier is in a trench, the design of the trench board provides several protective features. The trench walls shield against incoming fire, and the soldier's position behind the parapet reduces exposure to bullets. Additionally, soldiers often wear body armor, which can further protect vital areas from bullets. Together, these factors significantly minimize the risk of a bullet striking a soldier's chest while in a trench.

The Trench warfare was a common tactics during and before world war 1. It gave soldiers a very good cover from bullets, artillery, mortars. It was also cheap and simple

A parapet was the front of the front line trench, The top 2-3 feet of the trench consisted of sand bags to absorb bullets and shell fragments. It was in effect a vertical extension of the trench, used to provide cover for the soldiers.
"There was a giant trench around the castle".
I think that the only reason trench foot can kill is if the soldier has their foot amputated and then during the process get an infection.
The Italian soldiers were a part of the Triple Alliance. The soldiers fought with trench warfare in very cold weather.
