British Victory East of Ypres Marks Tremendous Breakthrough
London reports a major British victory east and northeast of Ypres with 3,000 German prisoners. The offense drove deep across the Passchendaele ridge, overran Gravenstaefel and Poelcapelle, and left German lines in ruins while British forces consolidated positions along the crest in the Ypres salient. Casualties were heavy on both sides as the barrage crushed defenses.
