"The [British] front line really ran along the bottom of a trough. I was familiar with the position in 1916, and I have seen it since the war....Our support and reserve trenches were on a very definitely forward slope, and were under enemy observation." (Capt. Francis Geoffrey Macalpine M.C., 11th Bn., East Lancashire Regt., writing in 1930.)
