This statue of a Black Watch-Soldier is located on the southwestern edge of the Polygon Wood and stands in almost the same place where they made history. At this location, "Black Watch Corner" the German advance stopped on November 10/11, 1914. The memorial is a permanent tribute to the fortitude of the legendary Black Watch Regiment. During WW1, almost 9,000 soldiers of this Regiment were killed and more than 20,000 were wounded.
