    "He's a cheery old card", said Harry to Jack,
    As they marched up to Arras with rifle and pack,
    But he did for them both by his plan of attack.

    Trench art was I would think mostly the work of those in the rear echelons who had the tools and the time do do it, more than those in the trenches.

    No doubt plenty of the locals got in on the act too, as not everyone can work in an estaminet or a bordello.

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    More by the rehab establishments to give the wounded something to do and provide an source of funding. Many just like to believe that troops did it, if you see the state of the forward lines you'd doubt that. When they rotated rear for a break, they weren't sitting around either, there was little slack time.
