The Vimy Memorial park in northern France is one excellent place to view preserved World War I trenches. The park is owned and maintained by the Canadian government, and the trenches are preserved in their original condition.
In a relatively unoccupied area, and one with little erosion, I would expect them to be identifiable.
according to the author, what was the first thing that one noticed about the trenches
i think trenches are at least 5-6 feet no one knows
World War One gas attacks were when the Germans gased the Trenches out with Mustard Gas. This caused a massive amount of deaths in the War.
In World War One, the soldiers survived by digging up trenches. Trenches are holes dug in the ground, sort of how worms dig into the ground but bigger. These trenches were what they lived in for 4 straight years. Hope this helped :) I'm only 13 so if you don't trust this answer than you can look somewhere else! :)

After the war the trenches went away as the land returned to its original uses, but I found a couple of them left that you can visit. One is Vieil Armand in Alsace, and the trenches were mostly carved in stone so they are well preserved. Also, World War 1 trenches in the Meuse have been restored to their original condition so that people can visit them. The German trenches there were built with concrete reinforcements, but the French trenches had filled in over the years and had to be dug out again.
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 :)
A reserve tranch was one of three main trenches, all connected up by communication trenches. The reserve trenches were at the back and, from the name, were used as reserves. The next trenches were support trenches, to support the fighting. Then you had the Front trenches, right next to No Man's Land. Hope this helped :D
Sitzkrieg (the opposite of blitzkrieg) was displayed in World War One in the trenches when neither side gained very much ground. Also shown at the battle of Stalingrad.
Approximatly one million soldiers died in the trenches in world war one
An awful one. Mud. Trenchfoot. Mud. Dysentery. Mud.
asdfghjkl;'Tiffani kiana;) was herek i think this is so cool and funny that anyone can put in any answer i love it so there you go and i have no clue to the question!!!
Trench warfare dates back hundreds of years. It was an effective method of attacking a fortress. During the early age of artillery, the attacking forces tried to move their artillery close to a fort in order to breach the walls. The trenches were just a way to get closer without exposing the cannoneers to fire from the walls of the fort. The earliest trenches were built in the zig-zag pattern in order to make it harder to fire into the trenches from the side. This was seen in the World War I trenches. Trench warfare became a frequent military tactic for defending territory between the US Civil War (1861-1865) and the first World War (1914).
