ypres was a nightmare for canadian soldiers. though we fought in other nightmarish battles, this one really cut it because here 12,000 infantry, and thousands of artillerymen witnessed the germans gas algerians and french, then later in the day began gassing down canadians, then we had to counter attack kitchener's woods at night and pilckem ridge in the morning, and then suffered a second gas inferno. and in 1917 we had to fight a massacre at passchendaele just north of ypres.

I live in Ypres. Deadly accidents with unexploded munition still happen every year. Mostly with farmers. The lead content of the ground near Passendale is especially high. I have the greatest respect for every soldier who gave his life on these battlefields. It must have been pure horror ... RIP

Devi leggerla. Uno volta cominciata non torni indietro. Una bambina di 10 anni è stata rapita e ? nel 1945. Il suo corpo non fu trovato fino al 1947. Poi un ragazzo la settimana scorsa lesse questo messaggio e non copiò e passo questo messaggio. La ragazza morta è apparsa nella sua camera ossessionata da lui e lo uccise. Se non copi e passi questo in 10 video in 30 min la ragazza morta apparirà nella tua camera stanotte e ti ossessionerà e ti ucciderà.

Have a care, mate. The unexploded munitions buried around Ypres can still be quite dangerous, even after all these years.
