when men were in the trenches in world war one they had many jobs such as cleaning the toilets and getting supplies. They would also have had to repairing defences; mending and putting up barbed wire and refilling sand bags and putting them up around the outside of the trench, If they were on night duty then they would have to guard the trench or they would be sent on spying missions to find info on the enemy .
they didnt do anything, if they did they'd cause attention from the enemy
The construction of trenches in World War I involved thousands of soldiers and laborers, as trench systems spanned hundreds of miles along the Western Front. Estimates suggest that it took around 2 million men to dig and maintain the extensive network of trenches, which required significant manpower due to the difficult conditions and constant threat of enemy fire. These trenches were pivotal for protection and strategy during the prolonged stalemate of the war.

Reserve trenches were used as supplies for the trenches out the front. In world war one, they had come up with a technique of hiding in trenches before they fight. To do this properly, they had made them zig-zags. The trenches on the front line were where the soldiers would fight from. Reserve trenches were used in case these people had anything happen to them and they needed to use more trenches and more men. Throughout the war, the conditions of the front line trenches became worse as the communication and reserve trenches improved. I hope that helped :)
They had to get there before the other side did, so that they could get an advance into making their trench, so before the other side come, they will be ready will their trenches!

The trenches were a very distressing place. Diseases' were caught such as trench foot. The the only cure was to have your legs amputated.

at first they slept in lorries and later they started to sleep in the cold dirty floors of the trenches.
