October 19-November 22, 1914 First Battle of Ypres
The
battle lasted almost four weeks, and the Germans came close to breaking
through the Allied lines. A last minute counterattack by Allied forces
stopped the German breakthrough. Over 50,000 British troops died in
the fighting, and almost double that number of Germans died.
