Mud Corner is one of the smaller of the 23 000 cemeteries maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, with just 85 graves (two unidentified) dating from the outbreak of the Battle of Messines in 1917. It’s too small to have an altar of sacrifice. All but one British grave are Australians and New Zealanders.
The large wood north of the village of Ploegsteert was named “Plugstreet Wood” by the British soldiers serving there. It has become one of the well-known place names in British military history.
There are more than a dozen cemeteries and memorials in and around Plugstreet – two of them especially significant – and many are named after places in London and the Home Counties.
