Translated by Nathalie GAUTHIER

  • During this static and trench warfare, defenders were needed in reserve behind the front line.
  • Here there is an example for the second line with its defense spaces like those of the front, in case it has been overwhelmed by the enemy.
  • As for the frontline, casemattes were also dug for sheltering and rest of the soldiers.
  • Small stations or sentinels were carefully arranged in order to keep watch.
