Paper 1
The networks and facilities that allow people, goods and information to move, including roads, railways and communication routes.
Revise: The British Sector and the Trench SystemMoving casualties further from the fighting depended on the wider transport infrastructure. Shelling damaged railway lines as well as roads, while congestion reduced the capacity of the railway network. Medical transport therefore faced problems both close to the front and further behind it.
