Nice result Kesa, figures aren't easy to do well. 🙂
I've seen a photo of one of my great-granddads as a young man in a military uniform, but I have no idea what he did. That was at the time of the Boar War which was before the WWI. My granddads were more WWII era. One was a military policeman in the RAF who spent most of the war sitting in a gate house, drinking tea in the Orkney Islands (far north of Scotland) – as far away from those nasty bullets as it possible to get 😄 . I still use his RAF tea mug every day.
My other granddad was a civilian who worked for the RAF. He was a master upholsterer who would travelled around Britain repairing fabric covered aircraft like Hurricanes. Again, another one who didn't go near where they were chucking bullets around. 🙂

Thanks, though I feel like its kind of empty because no man's land usually had a lot of puddles n' craters.
@Gorby It's nice that your great-granddads weren't eating led for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Did the one who fixed aircraft ever bring anything home from work? I feel like it's normal to do so since my father (who works as an aircraft mechanic/group commander) brings stuff from work quite a lot. Infact one of my Christmas presents was a broken turbine of an Airbus engine. Why? "For when shit hits the fan."

It's very good for a first proper diorama, just think how your modelling has improved in the last six months. If you want to tweak the dio further, I'd suggest adding more soil and the messier the better. As you say, puddles n' craters – plus boot prints etc. Don't worry if the wire or sandbags get partly buried under the soil as they would have been in reality.
That granddad wasn't interested in aircraft at all, which was probably just as well as no doubt it would be frowned upon if they found him trying to take bits of Hurricane home during the war. The sort of thing my other granddad would have arrested him for. 😄
Having said that I do have something which only recently I've been wondering what the hell to do with. When I was a kid he gave me an aircraft cannon shell. At the time he said it was a blank so lets hope he was right. 😮
