One story about Passchendaele that will forever follow me is how some soldiers would sink up to their neck in mud and their allies had no way to rescue them and would have to retreat

On average, the month was only as high as about mid-chest, so you had lads stuck in mud with no way out, starving to death

It was said that when some were found, the men have gone completely insane and none were able to be rescued

Resulting in many of them starving to death, deliberately drowning themselves in mud or being mercy killed by friends



This is worthy of a death metal album cover sweetie!

I can just imagine the unreadable band name and the unreadable album title!



I really love the corpse details too ;-;
