During World War I, but also true for any conflict in which trench-warfare is a staple, the battle line (or lines) running behind the German trenches was usually utilized as either a complementary defense line or as a communication conduit. Trenches such as these were used for all manner of purposes during the conflict in support of the trench-line that directly faced the enemy's foremost line of trenches.

Was Douglas haig a good leader?
Haig shouldn't be blamed for the Somme because a lot of the reasons were from the war conditions when the soldiers having to carry a load of equipment to try and keep themselves safe and kill the Germans that was causing the soldiers to move really slow. The first rehearsals for the war were unrealistic because the soldiers weren't properly trained; it wasn't Haig's fault from how they act. Every time the British took land from them, the Germans counter would attack. That wasn't Haig's fault as the Germans were just being competitive. Haig had to change their plans as the Germans were fighting the French. Haig had France as their allies so Haig helped out the French to plan their attacks where they wanted them to happen. The British were having more of them die than the Germans.
