(4 - 6) Passchendaele

The township of Passchendaele was reduced to little more than rubble and mud during the Third Battle of Ypres. This battlefront, battered by some of the heaviest shelling and the poorest weather in the entire war, soon became an infeasible location to hold. Trenches, fortifications and defensive lines were swallowed and lost within the quagmire of Passchendaele's outskirts, leaving advancing infantry at risk of far more than the enemy's attack. This battlefield alone claimed more men "missing" than any other in the course of the entire war.
