A sad fate in Passchendaele (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

end

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a sad fate' is the definition.
'end' can be an answer for 'fate' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'a sad' bit.

'in passchendaele' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'END' can be found hidden inside 'passchendaele'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for end that I've seen before include "Closure" , "result" , "border?" , "Limit" , "Conclusion or purpose" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
