Everything about Passchendaele Memorial totally explained

The Passchendaele Memorial is a war memorial commemorating the actions of the Canadian Corps during the World War I Battle of Passchendaele. This battle was part of the larger battles that were fought around the town of Ypres. The memorial is located at the Crest Farm just south of the village of Passendale in Belgium.

Description

This memorial was one of six that were created from a common design. The center is a large granite block with the inscription:

Monument Design

Following the war, each country created projects to commemorate their losses. These War Memorials were constructed throughout the 1920s and 30s. The Canadian Government held a competition for the memorial designs. There were two unique memorials created; the Vimy Memorial and the Brooding Soldier of the Saint Julien Memorial. The remaining memorials were based on the same basic design of a granite block in the centre of a circular patch of grass. The memorials of this design all commemorate battles on the Western Front in Belgium (2) and France (4).
