This image shows a war memorial dedicated to the Canadian Corps, indicating their military effort in October and November 1917 during World War I. The inscription on the monument marks their advancement across a valley, describing it as a treacherous morass, and their capture and holding of Passchendaele Ridge. In front of the monument, there are three portraits placed on the base, each with a name beneath them: Antoine Leytens, Stephen Ernest Shortliffe, and Hermann Keck. These likely represent soldiers who participated in the historical events commemorated by the memorial. Below the portraits, there are wreaths adorned with red poppies, a symbol often used to remember those who have died in military service, particularly in British and Commonwealth countries. Small Canadian flags are also placed near the portraits, emphasizing the memorial’s connection to Canada and its historical military contributions.
