November 6, 1917 A well-planned attack, clear weather, and a bit of luck see the Canadians finally capturing the village of Passchendaele after three hours of hard fighting. All that remains is to capture the village of Westrozebeke and the high ground it sits on, which is about 1500 yards north of the new front line. General Haig sets November 10 as the date to assault that ground and get his army into its winter positions.
