Ypres
         n 1: battle in World War I (1917); an Allied offensive which
               eventually failed because tanks bogged down in the
               waterlogged soil of Flanders; Germans introduced mustard
               gas which interfered with the Allied artillery [syn:
               {Ypres}, {battle of Ypres}, {third battle of Ypres}]
         2: battle in World War I (1915); Germans wanted to try chlorine
            (a toxic yellow gas) as a weapon and succeeded in taking
            considerable territory from the Allied salient [syn: {Ypres},
            {battle of Ypres}, {second battle of Ypres}]
         3: battle in World War I (1914); heavy but indecisive fighting
            as the Allies and the Germans both tried to break through the
            lines of the others [syn: {Ypres}, {battle of Ypres}, {first
            battle of Ypres}]
