Relentless warfare and incessant rain caused nearly 500,000 casualties during the Battle of Passchendaele. Some soldiers even drowned in the mud. We commemorated their struggle, bravery and sacrifice with this Mud Soldier, made out of sand and mud from Flanders Fields. Watch it slowly disappear with the rain. Ogilvy & Social.Lab, Belgium
