Cross-section of a front-line trench Cross-section of a front-line trench. These were supported by much stronger reserve trenches and linked by communication trenches. Many of their dug-outs and machine-gun posts were reinforced with concrete which provided a stronger defence against artillery bombardment.

Trenches in the Somme, July 1916.

Write an extract from a letter home or a diary describing your experiences of the first few days in the trenches. Try to use as many of the key terms as you can. Remember that your audience will have no experience of trench warfare. How would you get across what it is like?
