The 3rd battle of Ypres began in 1917, when an offensive was mounted by Commonwealth forces to divert German attention from a weakened French front futher south. The initial attempt in June to dislodge the Germans from Messines Ridge was a complete success, but the main assault north-eastward, which began at the end of July, quickly became a dogged struggle against determined opposition and the rapidly deteriorating weather. The sight of the Menin Gate was chosen for the resting place for those who died before 16 Aug 1917. This sight bears the names of more than 54.000 officers and men whose graves are not known.
