something not taught in school, but Iron Maiden taught me of Paschendale
Most battles aren't taught specifically in school though.
The trenchwar on the Western Front of WW1 is definitely in schools though. And Ypres (Paschendaele is the 3rd battle of Ypres) and the Somme are pretty well-known areas of that front.
