Trenches were long upen 5-foot deep ditches infantry soldiers worked from. They could remain hidden from enemy gunfire, yet peek above the top to fire and the enemy or throw grenades. It allowed officers to move among several soldiers without being exposed to the enemy.

In the section organization of trenches What were the four types of trenches used by allies?

The four types of trenches used by the Allies during World War I included front-line trenches, support trenches, reserve trenches, and communication trenches. Front-line trenches were directly involved in combat, providing soldiers with a position to defend against enemy attacks. Support trenches were located behind the front line, housing additional troops and supplies, while reserve trenches were further back, serving as a staging area for reinforcements. Communication trenches connected these various trench lines, facilitating movement and communication between them.


What links the front line and support trenches?

communication trench links the front line and first support line trench supports trench.


What is a reserve trench?

Reserve trenches were used as supplies for the trenches out the front. In world war one, they had come up with a technique of hiding in trenches before they fight. To do this properly, they had made them zig-zags. The trenches on the front line were where the soldiers would fight from. Reserve trenches were used in case these people had anything happen to them and they needed to use more trenches and more men. Throughout the war, the conditions of the front line trenches became worse as the communication and reserve trenches improved. I hope that helped :)

They were used to communicate messages back and forth between the home military and the front line military.

Where were trenches in position to the enemy?

During World War I, trenches were for the most part located directly in front of the enemy's projected line of attack. Where possible, trenches were also located to the sides of enemy positions; however, many trenches (such as those used for supply- and communication-purposes) extended backwards from the front lines.

What is a communications trench in World War I?

In the same trench, they'd probably just yell down the line or walk. If they were in different trenches, they'd send a runner, someone with a track or some sort of running background to pretty much dodge bullets to get the message to the other trench.
