Battle of Passchendaele (1917)

The Battle of Passchendaele (26 Oct.–10 Nov. 1917) took place in Belgium during World War I. The operation on the 26th pulled the Canadians out of the mud and up the ridge that ran through Passchendaele; the battles of 30 October and 6 November captured numerous strongpoints and the ruined village; a final push on the 10th allowed the Canadian Corps to consolidate the ground. However, the corps suffered incredibly high casualties.
