New Zealand Division at Polygon Wood

Hi There,
On your page relating to the New Zealand Division it states that the Division fought at the Battle of Polygon Wood (26th September 1917). This is incorrect. At this stage of the war the New Zealand Division was part of II Anzac Corps. Polygon Wood involved I Anzac Corps (4th and 5th Australian Divisions participated) and V, X and XVIII British Corps. The New Zealand Division participated in the next stage of the offensive - the Battle of Broodseinde on 4th Oct and entered the line between 29th Sep and 1st Oct. They captured the Gravenstafel spur as part of the attack.
Regards
Chris
