I like how they're annotated, but can someone clarify why they're called duck boards? They look like a drainage floor, but is that why the name, or is it because it's a lower floor than the firing step? (That one seems rather silly so I hope it's not that)

This was the "ideal" trench, but how many WWI trenches actually looked like this? Just curious if in battle and wartime, was this always followed.

Why was trench warfare ideal in WW1, but never used before or after?
