WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND - OCTOBER 12: Poppies cover sections of lawn during a ceremony to mark the centenary of the Battle of Passchendaele at Pukeahu National War Memorial Park on October 12, 2017 in Wellington, New Zealand. The events commemorate New Zealand's involvement in the Battle of Passchendaele between 1 and 18 October 1917, also known as the Third Battle of Ypres. The Battle of Passchendaele is still known as one of the greatest disasters in New Zealand's history. On 12 October 1917, approximately 1860 New Zealand soldiers were wounded and 843 killed. This devastating loss of life remains the highest one-day death toll suffered by New Zealand forces overseas. (Photo by Hagen Hopkins/Getty Images)
