You may not believe it, but the updates to ‘A Tour of Ploegsteert Wood’ that I promised you a while back really have finally begun, and a new Part Nine has been added where we visit the British burials in Ploegsteert Village churchyard, and pay our respects at the village war memorial (above). Over the next few months many more new photographs will be inserted into the other parts of the Tour, and we will also find time to visit the CWGC cemeteries to the south of Ploegsteert (such as Motor Car Corner Cemetery – see photo below). Personally, I’d come back every so often to check on what’s happening. But what do I know? You may have better things to do.
