One of my uncles was killed in the battle of Passchendaele in 1917, making desperate attacks to attempt to distract enemy attention from mutinies in the French army.
Were American troops involved in this battle? I had thought Canadians and Australians as well as the Brits, but haven't checked. So how did this loco get its name, please?
