American soldiers taking cover in trenches during World War One. The trenches are reinforced with barbed wire and contain machine gun emplacements and concrete dugouts. The soldiers retreat to deep dugouts when bombardments become too intense. Aerial photographs show the lines of trenches, with piles of earth forming the parapets. Traverses and notches provide additional protection and firing positions for soldiers.
