This one comes from WWI.
Until 1914 the English just called them lines. It wasn’t until they observed French troops lining up in orderly “tails” - queues - that the name caught on
There were other WWI changes too e.g. - “barrage” stopped being pronounced like “porridge”, and receipts became recipes
