Introduction

All eyes were focussed on the Ypres Salient during the summer and autumn of 1917. The campaign had started well with the capture of Messines Ridge on 7 June but the attack east of the town on 31 July ended in a mud bath. The few actions in August and early September achieved little but the three big attacks between 20 September and 4 October gave GHQ hope. It seemed they had a successful formula for bite and hold which could clear the defensive lines on Passchendaele Ridge before the Germans built more. But the weather again intervened and the campaign came to a bloody and muddy close after the high ground had been secured.
