not generally, however in basic training soldiers are still taught the use of slit trenches and foxholes and how to use an entrenching tool for field fortifications.
In the modern day sandbags and Tesco Bastions tend to be preferred to dug trenches. Quite possibly because they are more suited to desert and mountainous terrain.

What is the poem Wirers by Siegfried Sassoon about?
Its a simple poem about the dangerous job of repairing the barbed wire in front of the trenches during World War I. This had to be done at night otherwise the wirers would be shot. Occasionally the enemy (Germans in this case) would fire up a flare to illuminate No Mans Land, the land between the allied and German trenches. That's how poor Hughes was caught out in the poem. The best thing to do to avoid detection in poor light is to stand absolutely still - the eye is designed to detect movement.

What is a reserve trench?
Reserve trenches were used as supplies for the trenches out the front. In world war one, they had come up with a technique of hiding in trenches before they fight. To do this properly, they had made them zig-zags. The trenches on the front line were where the soldiers would fight from. Reserve trenches were used in case these people had anything happen to them and they needed to use more trenches and more men. Throughout the war, the conditions of the front line trenches became worse as the communication and reserve trenches improved. I hope that helped :)
