PASSCHENDAELE REFLECTIONS
Ninety years after the Third Battle of Ypres, a grim series of World War I battles better known as Passchendaele, the Australian Army will re-inter the remains of five Australian soldiers killed during the fighting. The remains were discovered during excavations for a pipeline near Westhoek in Belgium last year. Please see links at left for more.
