On October 4, 1917, the New Zealand Division attacked the heights of 's Graventafel, also known as Abraham Heights. They lost more than 300 men, but took possession of small German defenses and bunkers. This new position was strengthened.
800 New Zealanders lost their lives in a new offensive on October 12. This defeat at Passchendaele remains the blackest day in New Zealand - the highest single-day death toll in New Zealand military history.
A place to pause for a moment.
