Following on from the success of the Battle of Menin Road, the 4th and 5th Australian Divisions took over from the 1st and 2nd Divisions to launch the attack at Polygon Wood.

It was a precarious situation which needed to be rectified immediately or else the whole attack could be thrown into confusion.
