Zonnebeke: Memorial Museum Passchendaele
Description
The museum tells the history of the 3rd Ypres battle, better known as Passendale (or Passchendaele). This was a 100 day battle that moved the front line just 8KM forward and cost nearly a quarter of a million Commonwealth lives (and a similar number of German lives). The museum includes the reconstruction of a large dugout that soldiers would have lived in on the front line and a reconstruction of both a German and a British trench system.
