HIS strategy of attrition (â€Å"kill to a greater extent Germans”) also resulted in enormous numbers of British casualties. Yet another flawed plan had been hatch by global Haig in an attempt to charge the Germans on the French and Belgian Flanders in 1917. This beleaguer was also known as the Third booking of Ypres.It was a significant attack and a sooner large one for It was estimated that 4. 5 million shells were fired from 3,000 throttle valves from the British side.

But his attack was not successful and the thick rain that happened generally slowed the attack down. The thick get stuck in the trenches clogged up rifles and immobilised tanks.Also the fact that he drainage systems there were mainly destroyed imputable to the bombing that in like mannerk place there made everything worse.
