The main differences between the two was all down to the fact that the Germans dug in 1st. this meant they were on higher ground and better soil conditions too.
The British however, were barely 3 ft above sea level, so when they dug in, their trenches instantly flooded. Because of all the water they would regularly collapse. Also, the ground conditions were very bad; clay and sand which only led to more waterlogged trenches; also clya nad sand was hard to dig and shape.
lastly, the Brithish commanding officers believed that the trenches were only temporary and so were hastily constructed. the Germans knew that they would be staying there for a time; and so carefully planned out the details of the trenches.
