	World War Two
		Before the third battle of Ypres (passchendale) commenced the battle of Messines was fought.
		During Passchendale, the allies and Canada suffered many casualties, approximately 270,000 by the end of November 1917.
		Passchendale was finally captured by the allies in November of 1917 but still, at a massive cost of life, which should have been avoided by lessons learned at earlier battles such as Somme the previous year.

		Gurney freely admitted that he had invented the symptoms of shell-shock in order to get improved medical benefits.
