British observers in the XIX Corps area in the centre, lost sight of the troops that had advanced to the main objective at the green line and three reserve brigades pressing on towards the red line. The weather changed, just as German regiments from specialist counter attack Eingreif divisions counter attacked. The reserve brigades were forced back through the green line to the black line, which the British artillery observers could still see and the German counter attack was stopped by massed artillery and small arms fire. A substantial amount of ground was captured by the British and French, except on the Gheluvelt Plateau on the right flank, where only the blue line first objective and part of the black line second objective were captured. A large number of casualties were inflicted on the German defenders, 5,6. German prisoners were taken and the German Eingreif divisions managed to recapture some ground from the YpresRoulers railway, northwards to St Julien, forcing the British back to the black line. For the next few days, both sides made local attacks to improve their positions, much hampered by the wet weather. The rains had a serious effect on operations in August, causing more problems for the British and French, who were advancing into the area devastated by artillery fire and partly flooded by the unseasonable rain. A local British attack on the Gheluvelt Plateau on 2 August was postponed because of the weather until 1. August and the second big general attack due on 4 August could not begin until 1. August. The Third Battle of Ypres became controversial while it was being fought and has remained so, with disputes about the predictability of the August deluges and for its mixed results, which in much of the writing in English, is blamed on misunderstandings between Gough and Haig and on faulty planning, rather than on the resilience of the German defence. BackgroundeditStrategic backgroundeditOperations in Flanders, Belgium had been desired by the British Cabinet, Admiralty and War Office since 1.

A week after his appointment, Haig met Vice Admiral.

Henry Jackson and Dover Patrolcommander Vice Admiral Reginald Bacon, wrote to General Joffre urging that the Flanders operation be undertaken in 1. Joffre accepted. In late 1. Britain and France were optimistic that the casualties they had inflicted on the German army at the Battle of Verdun, the Battle of the Somme and on the Eastern Front had brought the German army close to exhaustion, although the effort had been immensely costly. At the conference in Chantilly in November 1. Entente agreed on an offensive strategy to overwhelm the Central Powers by means of simultaneous attacks on the Western, Eastern and Italian Fronts. The Prime Minister, David Lloyd George, sought to limit British casualties and proposed an offensive on the Italian front. British and French artillery would be transferred to Italy to add weight to the offensive. This suggestion was opposed by the French and Italian delegations and the British General Staff, at least covertly and was discarded. The new French Commander in Chief, Robert Nivelle, believed that a concentrated attack by French forces on the Western Front during the spring of 1. German front and lead to a decisive victory. The Nivelle plan was welcomed by the British, despite many in the Cabinet and War Office being sceptical, because a French attack would mean a lesser burden falling on the British. Haig was ordered to co operate with Nivelle but secured French agreement that in the event the offensive failed, the British would attack in Flanders with French support. On 9 April, British and Empire forces undertook a preliminary attack at the Battle of Arras and the Nivelle Offensive began on 1. April. The French attack gained ground at great cost but no breakthrough leading to open warfare and the decisive defeat of the German army occurred, leading to Nivelle being replaced by Philippe Petain, a collapse in morale and mutinies in the French armies. While the French recuperated, offensive action on the Western Front could only come from the BEF. It was not until June 1. Flanders campaign was approved by the British Cabinet and more grudgingly by the Prime Minister, against his preference for an Italian campaign. British plans 1. 91.

Haig ordered General Herbert Plumer, the commander of the Second Army which occupied the Ypres Salient, to produce a plan in late 1. Haig was dissatisfied with the limited scope of Plumers plan for the capture of Messines Ridge and Pilkem Ridge, the name used by the army for the higher ground around the small hamlet of Pilckem Pilkem, within the dorp village of Boesinghe Flemish Boezinge. By early 1. 91. 7, Haig felt that Nivelles ambitious attempt at a decisive battle would either force the Germans to abandon the Belgian coast or that the German 4th Army in Flanders would have divisions taken away to replace losses further south. Plumer produced a revised plan, in which in the first stage, Messines and Pilckem ridges would be captured, with an advance some distance onto the Gheluvelt Plateau soon afterwards, an attack would be made across the Gheluvelt Plateau, to Passchendaele and beyond. Plumer believed that a force of 3. BEF. Haig also asked for an assessment from Colonel Macmullen on the General Headquarters staff, who proposed that the Gheluvelt Plateau be taken by a massed tank attack, reducing the need for artillery. In April, a reconnaissance by Captain. Giffard Le. Quesne Martel found that the area was unsuitable for tanks, because of narrow defiles between the three woods obstructing the approaches on the high ground and the broken state of the terrain. The tanks would have to detour north of Bellewaarde lake to Westhoek then wheel right at the German Albrechtstellung. From mid 1. 91. 7, the area east of Ypres was defended by six German defensive positions, the front position, Albrechtstellung second position, Wilhelmstellung third position, Flandern I Stellung fourth position, Flandern II Stellung fifth position and Flandern III Stellung under construction. In economics, physical capital or just capital is a factor of production or input into the process of production, consisting of machinery, buildings, computers, and the like. The production function takes the general form YfK, L, where Y is the amount of output produced, K is the amount of capital stock used and L is the amount of labor used. In economic theory, physical capital is one of the three primary factors of production, also known as inputs in the production function. The others are natural resources including land, and labor the stock of competences embodied in the labor force. Physical is used to distinguish physical capital from human capital a result of investment in the human agent, circulating capital, and financial capital. The Sea Of Tranquility. Physical capital is fixed capital, any kind of real physical asset that is not used up in the production of a product. Usually the value of land is not included in physical capital as it is not a reproducible product of human activity. В2. 01. 7, Capital.
