Ploegsteert Wood was a sector of the Western Front in Flanders in World War 1, part of the Ypres Salient. After fighting in late 1914 and early 1915, it became a quiet sector where no major action took place. Units were sent here to recuperate and retrain after tougher fighting elsewhere and before returning to take part in more active operations.
British Tommies referred to it as "Plugstreet Wood". There is now a memorial and a small war cemetery there. Inside the wood itself are three military cemeteries, Toronto Avenue, which has only Australian burials,Ploegsteert Wood Military Cemetery and Rifle House cemetery.
