    Wow.... this shot is incredibly surreal... Reminds me of that one episode of Futurama (Birdbot of Ice-Catraz) where Bender crashes a 6,000 hull tanker carrying dark matter on Pluto which results in a population explosion of penguins.

    The Battle of Menin Road was an offensive that started on 20 September, 1917 after a pause for fine weather. The Menin road was the main West- East route. To gain control of the road it was necessary to capture the ridges, one of which was Veldhoek Ridge, the other being Anzac ridge or Spur Zonnebeke where there was a dominating blockhouse overlooking the Menin road. It was the first battle designed to push the Germans off the Passchendaele - Messines Ridge and was to be spearheaded by I Anzac Corp. On September 16, 1917 after marching through Ypres in the night, the Australian 1st and 2nd Divisions took over a section of the battlefield on the main ridge at Glencorse Wood and a low spur to the north of it at Westhoek. The battle plan was to proceed in a succession of limited offensives ( always covered by artillery ) that followed one another at intervals a few days apart. At 5.40am on 20 September, 1917, after 5 days of bombardment, 11 divisions of the 2nd and 5th BEF armies struck the Germans on a 13 kilometre front. The Australian 1st and 2nd Divisions, along with a Scottish Division, were the centre of the assault along Westhoek Ridge facing Glencorse Wood, with a combined front of 1,800 metres. It was the first occasion in the war in which two Australian Divisions attacked side by side. The Australians overcame enemy infantry opposition and advanced steadily for almost one kilometre to the first objective known as the "Red Line". It ran along a sunken road, the north edge of Glencorse Wood to Honnebeck swamp and bogs in the None Borsden Copse. LEST WE FORGET to all that lost their lives and to those who returned to the families wounded.
