 Between September and November 1917 , I Anzac Corps took part in a number of actions around Ypres in Belgium as the Allies launched a campaign in order to capture the Gheluvelt Plateau in Belgium . Collectively these actions have come to be known as the Third Battle of Ypres , of which they were a part , although to Australians they are more commonly known by the names of the places where the individual actions took place — Menin Road , Polygon Wood , Broodseinde , Poelcappelle and Passchendaele .
