What is a front line dugout from World War 1?

Answer 1

Dugouts were protective holes dug out of the sides of trenches. The size of dugouts varied a great deal and sometimes could house over ten men. A manual published by the British Army recommended dugouts that were between 2 ft. and 4 ft. 6 in. wide, roofed with corrugated iron or brushwood and then covered with a minimum of 9 inches of earth.

Answer 2

Trenches on the front line in World War I were hastily built. They were very unhygienic and offered little or no protection from the extreme weather conditions.

Answer 3

A front line during WW1 would have been the trench furthest up and closest to the enemy trenches where the heaviest fighting took place.
