Soldiers of the 48th Bn, 4th Australian Div, rest in a support trench during the third battle of #Passchendaele in 1917. When I look at photos such as this one, I inevitably wonder how many of these men survived the #GreatWar unscathed. #AIF #diggers #ANZAC #fwwhist

This infernal scene was familiar to an entire generation of British and Commonwealth #soldiers in the #GreatWar. A noted landscape artist, the painter created his #war art from personal experience. #fww #fwwhist #Passchendaele

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them”

They called it Passchendaele.

My Tasmanian great-great uncle died on this day 108 years ago. #Passchendaele

Joe Vernon smith of the KLR

Military medal in its box. He never showed it to anyone.

Joe in his hospital blues. He was to spend 6 months in Chester military hospital.

The telegram, torn open. One can only imagine the dread. It states Joe has a head wound designated ‘serious’. He was left permanently deaf in one ear.

My husband’s grandad was seriously wounded at #Passchendaele 108 years ago tomorrow
His Nan kept the telegram received telling her he’d been seriously wounded. You can see where she tore it open.He was in hospital 6 months and awarded the military medal for gallantry

Is your #dad a #militaryhistory buff? This 1978 #book about the #46thCanadianInfantryBattalion (#Saskatchewan) during #WWI would make an excellent #FathersDay #gift. Engaging prose. #Map #endpapers, but no #photos. $25. #Booksky #war #Passchendaele #battles #military #infantry

Atm I’m reading Lyn MacDonald’s classic “Passchendaele, The Story of the Third Battle of Ypres 1917.” It’s almost a social history of that fateful campaign of the #GreatWar. This moving passage is from page 159.
