Australian Diggers WW1

31/7/2017- From injured diggers lying in the rubble to rows upon rows of unmarked graves, the First World War's Battle of Passchendaele was as grim as any ever remembered.
Monday marks 100 years since the start of the Battle of Passchendaele, which killed or wounded an estimated one million solders, 77,000 of whom were Australian.
After eight weeks of fighting, an estimated 38,000 Australian soldiers never returned home.
