Answer

Sir William Robertson did support the continuation of the Battle of Passchendaele, even though the battle had already resulted in hundreds of thousands of casualties and there was little chance of a decisive victory. Robertson believed that the continuation of the battle would force Germany to commit more resources to the Western Front, thereby weakening its position in the east.
