Entrenching Tool

Trench warfare was a constant throughout World War I. There were many innovative ways to quickly build trenches, but still the simplest method was the most common - digging with shovels. Standard issue entrenching tools often came with sharpened edges so that they could be used as melee weapons when a bayonet would be too large and cumbersome. The safest way to dig a trench in combat was called sapping, which allowed soldiers to dig while still inside of their trench. The largest drawback to sapping was that only two men could dig at a time, since the space they had to work in was limited. Often times soldiers had to dig trenches out in the open with nothing but the cover of night to protect them.
