In WW1 trench warfare was used greatly, the soldiers would dig trenches into the ground so that they were able to avoid enemy fire. The three line trench system was how the trenches were dug. They consisted of three different sections, the front line, the support trenches and the reserve trenches. The front line trenches were used for firing at the enemy, the second line trenches were used for troops to rest and the reserve trenches held the reinforcements and supplies. All of these trenches were linked by communication trenches. The soldiers lived in these trenches for varied amounts of times. They slept and ate in holes they dug in the walls fought on the front line.
