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 :)

What sort of protection did trenches provide in World War 1?
During World War I, trenches of different kinds protected soldiers from various dangers. Basic slit trenches, dug deeply enough to enable soldiers to stand up straight while keeping their heads below the ground-surface, protected soldiers from horizontal rifle- and cannon-fire. More sophisticated trenches, dug still more deeply into the earth and maintaining a thick ceiling-layer of earth, protected troops from vertical bombardment, including attacks from airplanes.
Why were sleeping conditions in the trenches in World War 1 bad?
Sleeping conditions in WW1 trenches were so bad for a numerous amount of reasons. one is that the poor hygiene left the soldiers invested with lice which would practically eat them alive until they came up with the idea to use a hot iron on their clothing which would "pop" the lice to their death. My second reason is the trenches were invested with tomcat sized rats which would eat their food and the dead bodies of soldiers who sometimes couldn't be properly buried after a cave in, etc. Another reason was that the soldiers would get many diseases such as trench foot and trench mouths, or gums. Trench foot is the rotting away of the foot due to a wet boot causing moisture to soak into the foot which soldiers would walk on and the skin would rot away causing the foot to get diseased. Trench mouth was poor hygiene in the mouth creating the gums in the mouth to rot away and become diseased. Both of these conditions were extremely painful. Also, soldiers had absolutely no comfort, as they slept on the dirt and used each other to stay out of the mud leaning back to back. In the trench the soldiers were always under some type of artillery fire sometimes "Screaming Mimi's or invasions from their enemies.

not generally, however in basic training soldiers are still taught the use of slit trenches and foxholes and how to use an entrenching tool for field fortifications.
