This thoroughly researched study relates the story of the battle through the eyes of the combatants as two British Territorial divisions and an Australian brigade attempted the impossible in mounting an assault under some of the most adverse conditions imaginable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOften lost between narratives of Australian, New Zealand and Canadian assaults on the Passchendaele ridge, the author aims to give the battle of 9 October 1917 the attention it deserves.
