Overfor det sydvestlige hjørne af Polygon Skoven står en imponerende bronzestatue af en Highlander, en skotsk soldat. Den står næsten på samme sted, hvor det første slag ved Ypres sluttede den 10. og 11. november 1914. Ved dette 'Black Watch Corner' forhindrede britiske og franske tropper tyskerne i at krydse til Ypres. Begge sider gravede sig ned på ryggen. Monumentet hylder ikke kun den urokkelige beslutsomhed fra den legendariske Black Watch Regiment, men minder også om beslutningen hos de britiske 'Old Contemptibles' - det tyske hånende navn for den britiske professionelle hær. Regimentet mistede mere end otte tusinde soldater på den vestlige front.
