    Monument commemorating the Third Battle of Ypres, in which Passchendaele was captured from the Germans after 100 days and major losses. In the final phase, the Australian and New Zealand troops were relieved by Canadian troops. These reached the hills southwest of Passchendaele (Goudberg and Crest Farm) on October 30. From there, Passchendaele could be reached: a territorial gain of several hundred meters at the cost of 15,000 to 16,000 Canadians killed.



    Crest Farm, located on a height, was finally captured by the Canadians on November 30. The village, or what was left of it, had to be surrendered to the Germans again in the spring of 1918.



    The current monument stands on the site where Crest Farm once stood. It was founded after 1923.



    The monument is a small artificial hill that is accessed via a bluestone staircase. On the hill is a circular platform with a block of Quebec granite in the center. There is also an orientation table and an information table.
