The battle took place near Ypres in Belgian Flanders, on the Western Front. The Allied attack succeeded in the north, from Langemarck to Drie Grachten (Three Canals) but early advances in the south, on the Gheluvelt Plateau, were forced back by powerful German counter-attacks.Both sides were hampered by rain, which had a greater effect on the British, who occupied lower-lying areas and had advanced onto ground which had been frequently and severely bombarded. The effect of the battle, the August weather and the successful but costly German defence of the Gheluvelt plateau during the rest of August, when the British made several attempts to advance along the plateau, led the British to revise further their methods and main offensive effort, which led to the three big British successes of 20, 26 September and 4 October."@en }
