Battle Of Passchendaele World War One

Battle Of Passchendaele started with a 10 day preliminary bombardment. Then, on July 31, the British offensive started at Ypres.

The German Fourth Army was mostly able to hold off the British advance. Heavy rain turned the Ypres lowlands into a muddy swamp. The use of tanks became impossible.

The attack was postponed until late September. British forces were able to gain control the ridge east of Ypres.

By November 6, Passchendaele was taken by British and Canadian troops.
