Books, Manuscripts
The Third Battle of Ypres, culminating in a desperate struggle for the ridge and little village of Passchendaele, was one of the most appalling campaigns in the history of warfare. A million Tommies, Canadians and Anzacs assembled at the Ypres Salient in the summer of 1917. This book tells their tale of mounting disillusion amid mud, terror, and desperate attacks, yet it is also a story of immense courage, comradeship, high spirits and hope.
