One weekend I went to Pollock Country Park where they had set up World War 2 trenches. I got to walk in them and see where the bomb marks where and see the weapons and food rationing and real guns and bullets. I learned that they had real street names attached to the wood panels so that soldiers remembered where and how to get about the trenches. They had to make sure all their supplies were with them as they were in the trenches for a long time. Wooden boards were placed down so that they could walk along the rows safely. The trenches walls were higher than the soldiers to keep them protected and they would just pop up to shoot or see what was going on.
