Does the -1 entrenching modifier stay with the army or the space, and when is it lost?
The optional rule 11.2.10 says where the marker sits and when it is removed, and posters agree.

It stays with the specific unit that failed its entrench roll, not with the space. Under the optional rule 11.2.10, only German, British, French and Italian units get it, so an Austro-Hungarian army never does. It applies only to that unit's next attempt, and the marker comes off once the unit skips that next attempt, even across a turn boundary, or once its attempt succeeds. The modifier is never more than -1.
