|a This is an account of the British Expeditionary Force's battles in the summer and autumn of 1917. It begins with the Allied plan to free up the Flanders coast, to limit German naval and submarine attacks on British shipping. The opening offensive began with the detonation of nineteen mines on 17 June and ended with the capture of the Messines Ridge. The main offensive started with success on 31 July but was soon bogged down due to the August rains. Three huge attacks between 20 September and 4 October had the Germans reeling, but again the weather intervened and the campaign ended with little attacks acrioss the muddy slopes of the Passchendaele Ridge. Each large battle and minor action is given equal treatment, giving a detailed insight into the most talked about side of the campaign. There are details on the planning of each offensive and the changing tactics used by both sides. There is discussion about how the infantry, the artillery, the engineers and the Royal Flying Corps worked together.
