EDIT: oh, sorry I was confused by the wording (retexture)
Tbh, I think the boards at the bottom of the trench should be replaced with just mud or dirt.
Why?Quote:

The reason the British and French (?) trenches often are depicted as not looking very good is because, along the western front, the Germans built their trenches along the higher ground leaving the allies to have the lower ground, meaning that the water table was much nearer.
Soldiers spent a large portion of their time actually fixing and improving trench networks and, although they would have started off with no wooden supports as it was literally just foxholes connecting over time, they very quickly became much more permanent looking. So yes, they did have boards on the ground in the trenches as soon as they realised that they would be staying in them for more than a few days.
I did send some pictures to mitch a while ago about some trench reconstructions I visited in Belgium, not sure if he'll post them for us to see, but they had corregated iron along the sides, and wooden planks along the ground :)
Edit - You may not have been able to see the wooden flooring in most WW1 footage as they are all generally in black and white making them harder to distinguish between the soil surrounds, and also the fact that there would have been mud and dirt covering much of them during winter and when it rained.
Well from the diagrams and pictures ive seen of WWI trenches have not got boards on the bottom.

But other sources such as "The floor of the trench was usually covered by wooden duckboards." source
i think it is because the trenches would originally have boards but as time went on and during a battle mud would be on top of the boards. i see no reason why s trench with boards and a trench without could be made.
It was just a suggestion.Quote:

That's unsettlingQuote:
