Throughout history, entrenching has been a crucial aspect of warfare, from the trenches of the Western Front during World War 1, where British soldiers dug in at Arnhem on 18 September 1944, to the sieges of Cawnpore in 1857 and Chatham. The art can be seen in the plan of the entrenchments at Cawnpore, the siege operations at Chatham, and the engravings of the Zulu War and the Russian Rifle Pit. The British Army issued entrenching tools, such as spades, to aid in this essential task. The explosive power of mines, as demonstrated in the New Ravelin, added a new dimension to entrenching during the Minz Crater battle. The Pioneer Regiment's efforts in France during World War 1, and the Battle of the Aisne in 1918, are just a few the dedication and determination of soldiers in entrenching to protect their comrades and secure their positions.
