July 25, 2017 - London, United Kingdom: A sculpture of a soldier made from sand and mud taken from Flanders Fields in Belgium, has been unveiled at Trafalgar Square to commemorate the centenary of the battle of Passchendaele, where thousands of Australian soldiers lost their lives in the deadliest battle of the First World War. The sculpture outside the National Gallery will slowly dissolve over the course of four days, a representation of the rain and mud associated with the battle 100 years ago. An estimated 38,000 Australians died, among almost 500,000 soldiers who fell as rain turned craters and trenches into a sea of mud, leaving many of the men to drown.

British photographer Michael St Maur Shiel has spent the last few years taking poignant and evocative pictures of some of the most notorious battlefields of WW1 as they are today, nearly 100 years after the Great war. The pictures show beautiful landscapes that still show the scars of the conflict in which 10 million soldiers died.
Still bleak Passchendaele.

Battle at Ypres WWI Canadians v Germans - Ypres, a medieval town in Belgium, was taken by the German Army at the beginning of the war. However, by early October, 1914, the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) was able to recapture the town. The first major German attempt to regain Ypres took place on 15th October. Experienced BEF riflemen held their positions but suffered heavy losses. German attacks took place for the next four weeks but with the arrival of the French Army the line was held. With the weather deteriorating, the Germans decided to abandon the Ypres offensive on the 22nd November. It is estimated that about 135,000 Germans were killed or badly wounded during the offensive. The BEF lost around 75,000 men and was effectively destroyed as a professional army. There were two more major battles at Ypres: 2nd Battle of Ypres (April-May, 1915) and Passchendaele (July-October, 1917). The Second Battle of Ypres, as it is known in British military history, encompassed four battles in the northern sector of the Ypres Salient. The first of these began on 22 April 1915 as a surprise attack by the German 4th Army on the Allied front line. This attack witnessed the first use of a new German weapon on the Western Front: poisonous gas. Its deadly effect was carried on a gentle breeze towards French troops and as a result of its devastating effect on the French the German infantry made a significant advance into Allied territory. During the next four weeks the Allied Forces of Belgium, France and Britain fought to hold off the successful German advance and to regain the ground that had been lost north of Ypres. The fourth battle ended on 25 May 1915.
