The Ypres area of Belgium, where Passchendaele is located, was the scene of several First World War battles. It was the last portion of Belgium that was not in enemy hands after the initial German advance of 1914 and, as a result, held great symbolic meaning to the Allies. Ypres was a very difficult place to fight.
The Battle of Gravelotte, or GravelotteâSt. Privat (18 August), was the largest battle during the Franco-Prussian War.
