on October 12th it was the 100th anniversary of New Zealand's darkest day on the battlefield: the battle of Passchendaele! 843 New Zealanders died and 1700 wounded in just a few hours. Allied troops tried to take the village of Passchendaele in Belgium. The battle nearly claimed 2000 New Zealanders lives. Canadian troops eventually captured what was left of Passchendaele in early November, but six months later the Germans retook it and held it until just before the end of the war.

A British man nearly died when a fish he had just caught jumped down his throat. They were told he had kissed the 14-centimetre Dover sole to celebrate his catch, but it wriggled free and jumped down his throat, blocking his airway. Paramedics tried to remove the fish with forceps, but the fish’s barbs and gills were getting stuck on the way back up. On their sixth attempt they managed to extract it whole.Ian Cowie from the group said “he was kissing the fish when it jumped down his throat. It’s a tradition to kiss your first catch.
