Ploegsteert Wood was a sector of the Western Front in Flanders in World War I, south of the Ypres Salient. It is located around the village of Ploegsteert in the Walloon region of north-western Belgium. Many know it under the name ” Plugstreet “. During WW1, much of the fighting took place in Western Europe. The countryside was blasted, bombed and fought over repeatedly. Previously beautiful landscapes turned to mud; bleak and barren scenes where little or nothing could grow. There was a notable and striking exception to the bleakness – the bright red Flanders poppies. These resilient flowers flourished in the middle of so much chaos and destruction, growing in the thousands upon thousands. History lovers have recently recreated a small trench near the edge of the woods, in a section of the No Man’s Land. Each spring poppies still grow on this former part of the Western Front battlefield.
