A new movie coming out in the fall, About the Battle of Passchendaele in WW1.
And it is about Canada for once.
My buddy Kurts dad builds movie sets and so on, he worked on the movie.
I think the movie looks like it is going to turn out real well.

Here is the Trailer

Loved these two lines form your reference:

Passchendaele was the last gasp of the "one more push" philosophy which posited that the stalemate of attritional trench warfare could be broken by brute offensive action against fixed positions. The massive and tactically meaningless casualty levels--coupled with the horrendous conditions in which the battle was fought--damaged Field-Marshal Haig's reputation and made it emblematic of the horror of industrialised attrition warfare.

"If we don't learn from histroy, we are doomed to repeat it." I ain't saying thats what Canadians are for; ain't gonna say it, not even once.
