Polygon Road was built in 1919-20. In September of 2018, Led by B and D companies, and assisted by heavy rain and poor visibility from smoke and low clouds, the Royal Newfoundland Regiment climbed Bellwaarde Ridge, and by noon was in Polygon Wood in defence. They then moved forward at 4 pm to Polygon Racecourse, which they occupied for the night. They had moved forward three miles with 15 casualties.
Other streets named from Battles from the Great War include: Beaumont Avenue, Suvla Road, Monchy Road, and Perrone Road. Haig Road was named for the British Field Marshall, later so vilified for the failure of the Somme Offensive, who commanded the British Expeditionary Force, which included the Royal Newfoundland Regiment.
