The space between the trenches is caled 'No Mans Land'. It is a fact that as time has gone on in the history of warfare the General has become more & more detached from the fighting. Alexander the Great, for example was at the very centre, leading from the front. Napoleon at Waterloo shows himself to his troops and then retires to the rear and allows others to fight his battle for him. Wellington apparrently saying, when asked by an artillery officer if he could take a shot at the great man, 'Generals have better things to do than shoot at each other' ! By the time WW1 arrives it is likely that no one more senior than a battalion commander, usually a Lt Colonel, would be anywhere near the front line. 'Why are we attacking ?' might be best described by the reply 'Because the general wants to move his cocktail cabinet 6 feet closer to Berlin' : Not quite the truth, but the cynicism there in speaks volumes.
