    In the early 1980's an old lady well into her 90's was admitted to the hospital ward where I worked and she had been a nurse during WW1. I remember her so well as she was terribly crippled with arthritis and in a lot of pain and used to lash out at us and give us all an earful about what we were doing wrong. The tears she cried however were not for herself but for all the young men she had nursed all those years ago that obviously still haunted her. I will never forget that old lady and what she must have gone through.

    'I died in hell, they called it Passchendaele'

    At 3.50am on 31 July 1917, the Third Battle of Ypres, also known as Passchendaele, began when 2,000 Allied guns opened up on German lines.
    By the end of the three-month long campaign, more than 500,000 men from both sides are thought to have been injured or killed.
    One hundred years on, Passchendaele is still remembered through the war poet Siegfried Sassoon.

    ‘Memorial Tablet’ by Siegfried Sassoon is read by David Suchet.
