420,000 british men were killed at the battle of the somme
a lot
yes they did
Canadian soldiers were incharge of holding their positions and attack until the reinforcements came, and they did it exceptionally well- Canadian soldiers were the only one who were able to do this.
Normal, but on the 3rd battle of Ypres, there was the heaviest rain in 30 years! This slowed the movement of troops. This battle gained 5 miles for the cost of 300,000 lives.

British
Ypres was low-lying with a high water table that was destroyed by shelling and therefore flooded the ground and turned it into a swamp. There was only one ridge of high ground that the Germans held.
The Ypres battle was actually a series of battles that took place during World War I, resulting in tens of thousands of casualties from different nations. It would be difficult to provide an accurate number of people who died in the Ypres battles, but estimates suggest around 500,000 soldiers were killed, wounded, or went missing during the various battles in the Ypres area.
