The average distance in most sectors was about 250 yards (230 metres). However, at Guillemont it was only 50 yards (46 metres) whereas at Cambrai it was over 500 yards (460 metres). The narrowest gap was at Zonnebeke where British and German soldiers were only about seven yards apart.No Man's Land contained a considerable amount of barbed wire. In the areas most likely to be attacked, there were ten belts of barbed wire just before the front-line trenches. In some places the wire was more than a 100 feet (30 metres) deep.

What was the area between no mans land?
No mans land is a place in between opposing sides where no one dared to enter cause if u did u were either dead or making a death wish (meaning you were alive but possibly not for long). No Man's Land was the area between the Allies and Axis (or in WW1 the Triple Alliance and Triple Entente) trenches where the opposing army would try to attack..it was convered in barbed wire...usally no life around...muddy and protected by sniper fire and mounte machine guns. Engineers or troops who had to cut or put up barbed wire did it when they had darkness (night) to cover them so they wouldn't be killed.
