26 October-10 November 1917: The Second Battle of Passchendaele—Entente forces spearheaded by the Canadian Corps, in a thoroughly methodical assault, seized the Passchendaele Ridge: drier ground for the coming winter; men & matériel were then diverted away from the Ypres Salient to stem the Central Powers' breakthrough at Caporetto & for the Entente's forthcoming attack at Cambrai.
Lest we forget.
