| Description |
English: A deserted and muddy trench. In the background there is a fence which is constructed using large posts with interwoven branches running horizontally. This would have been used as a support to prevent collapse of the trench. Sandbags lie at the top of the trench, to absorb enemy bullets. There is a roll of barbed wire and various mud-covered items lying on the ground. World War I necessitated the development of a system of trench warfare. Soldiers employed a variety of weapons from Howitzers to bayonet guns to attack and defend in trench warfare. Tanks were not altogether suitable but photo-reconnaissance proved very helpful. Commanders could look at images taken from planes of the enemy's trench system and plan advances based on that. |
