Passchendaele is the battle that came to symbolise the very worst of the First World War — three months of fighting in a landscape of liquid mud, shattered trees, and flooded shell craters that swallowed men whole. The Third Battle of Ypres, as it was officially known, cost over half a million casualties on both sides for an advance of barely five miles. The name Passchendaele still resonates as a reminder of the unimaginable conditions endured by those who fought there.
This silver-plated commemorative honours Passchendaele in solemn, exquisite detail. Struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated standard with a proof-like finish, this 32mm piece is plated in .999 fine silver and weighs 10.5 grams — a lasting tribute to those who fought in the mud of Flanders.
Lest we forget — claim this poignant piece for your Defenders of the Realm collection before stocks are gone.
