Flanders mud
Looking SW from Rozenweld across the Nieuwe Beek valley towards the ridge of Dochy Farm.This is an unfortunate region, and consist entirely of mud, a form of matter which has, however, been unfairly despised. I am prepared to take my oath that mud is warm and a friend to man. Mud is affectionate and clinging; mud has no pride; mud is soft to fall on; mud is not unpleasant to the taste, and does not greatly interfere with the hearing; and, finally, mud is warm. - 2/Lt. Bernard Pitt, Christmas day 1915
