Hill 60 and the Salient
Like many others, my grandfather fought and survived the carnage as a machine gunner at Ypres - never spoke a word about it. I wish he was alive now to pass on his thoughts.
FYI, Winston Groom (author of Howard Gump) wrote a great book on the Ypres campaign in 2002. It's a very even-handed look at the campaign.
It's called "A Storm in Flanders" and is still available on A*azon and E*bay.
Well worth a read.
