- Synopsis
- This page shows a labelled plan of a typical trench system of the front line of the First World War. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left, when the image is the correct way up. The image is surrounded by a dashed line image border. The lines of trenches run horizontally across the page. The German front line trench is at the top of the page. There are three Allied trenches in the middle and bottom of the page. There are also short communication trenches linking them up. The trenches were dug in clever Ėzigzag' sections to minimise damage, only a small area would be affected if it was attacked by enemy forces or hit by a shell. Between the German trench at the top of the page and the Allied front line trench in the centre of the page is no-man's land. This would be empty apart from coils of barbed wire and craters made by shelling. There are observation trenches breaking into no-man's land. There would be tunnels going into no-man's land as well. These would give hidden access to the enemy lines for sabotage.
