Description
This mound, which stood on the far side of Polygon Wood, was taken by the 5th Division in the Battle of that name on 26 September, despite heavy difficulties caused by the driving in of the line immediately to the south of it on 25 September. Around its slopes were thickly strewn the shell torn bodies of more than a hundred German, Australian and English troops.
