Map phase 2 (British advance): After a 5-day pause from the Battle of Menin Road the British attacked again on 26 September. The Australians completed the capture of Polygon Wood while the British took the village of Zonnebeke. This map shows the second of the three successful Australian advances. The city of Ypres is in the bottom left corner of the map, with the Yser Canal running north-south on its western edge. 6km east of Ypres is Polygon Wood, which the Australians held half of at the start of the battle. In the top right-hand corner of the map is the village of Passchendaele, 10km from Ypres.
