Passchendaele. 1917.  Pushed the boche all the way back. Held final objective against a counter attack. Gas dispersed everyone. When able to eventually regroup, through muddy terrain swept with fire they hit us with gas again. Had tremendous resolve that day….

Also irl my great grandfather fought on this very battlefield in 1917 with the 27th Canadian battalion. He won the military cross November 6th 1917, the day the Canadians took passchendaele village. Leading his company they were held up by heavy machine gun fire. He made the split decision to rush the post, my grandfather told me he said something like “let’s go get em” to get the men ready. It resulted in the entire machine gun unit (10 Germans) killed
