Trench Froideterre Bras-sur-Meuse

Trenches were constructed of concrete and earth, often in a "V" or "2" configuration, with a parapet for protection and loopholes for weapons.

The trenches at Fontaine de Prusse, overlooking the Meuse valley, were particularly important and compensated for the lack of other defensive structures.
Some trenches were equipped with metal shields and movable armored shields that provided additional protection.
