Yes, but my point was that even the field artillery wasn't "in" the trenches. My great uncle was in the artillery; my grandfather was in the infantry. They had very different wars.

If the artillery (i.e., the gun crews) can see their targets, they're usually in serious trouble, the Battle of Borodino notwithstanding.
