Foxholes, on the ground, in tents, occupied houses. Wherever they could. But mostly foxholes.
In order to be less likely to be wounded by artillery and mortar fire, experienced soldiers "dig in" immediately when their unit stops moving for the day.
A "slit trench " for 2 soldiers takes about 30 minutes to dig, depending on how hard the ground is and how many rocks there are in it. It should be at least 5 feet deep, 3 feet wide, and 7 feet long, and be shaped like a letter L, with a 90 degree turn to shield the men from a grenade, if it lands in the trench. Over head cover is important, to protect against air burst shells, and it should be at least 2 feet thick, and cover at least half of the hole.
Sleeping in a farm house is a BAD idea, as the enemy has it registered on their artillery fire plan, and a couple of artillery rounds will kill everyone in the building in a few seconds. Same thing applies to any building in the fighting area. Much better to sleep outside, below ground level, safe from all threats but a direct hit by a shell.
