German pillbox on farmland on the edge of Messines Ridge (near the Irish Peace Park).

"As it was, the Ypres battlefield just represented one gigantic slough of despond into which floundered battalions, brigades and divisions of infantry without end, to be shot to pieces or drowned, until at last and with immeasurable slaughter we had gained a few miles of liquid mud" - Plaque, Irish Peace Park, Messines Ridge.
