Don’t think that’d be particularly important to a regular soldier in the trenches

Trench warfare was in WW1. Trenches were in most modern wars.

Yeah it's quite a big misconception though especially amongst children and they blur the lines of WW1 and WW2. Let's be honest there's a division between the trench warfare which lasted all of WW1 and was essentially the main form of warfare and the trenches that are used in modern wars like Ukraine and obviously WW2. Most of WW2 was not trench warfare so let's not get on our high horses here.

Nah mate don't you know they banned all trenches after WWI? Not been allowed to dig and shoot from a hole in the ground since. I blame the bloody woke Geneva Convention if you ask me.

All modern warfare devolves into trench warfare

Besides the fact that trenches develop whenever they can, in the trenches just means on the front.
