Remembering Passchendaele

Re: Passchendaele: Why we should never forgot the horror and heroics of this bloody battle, Christopher Sweeney, Nov. 10

Christopher Sweeney’s article on Passchendaele was excellent. I wish it could be made mandatory reading for all of our high school stu- dents. I myself have to admit that I had no knowledge of this battle until I visited the incredible display at our war museum. Sweeney’s article helped me to understand the importance and sacrifices endured by our soldiers. How can we remember this important battle when do many have no knowledge of it?
