Polygon Wood Cemetery and NZ Memorial

Polygon Wood was the scene of many battles during the war and it kept its name despite all the trees being destroyed by shellfire within the first year of the war.

This cemetery has the Australian 5th Battalion Memorial and a NZ Memorial.

In the woods around the cemetery there are still overgrown trenches.






 
 

 The NZ Memorial is the structure behind the gravestones.
