Lt Prenter, 72nd Bn Album - "Plugstreet", [Ploegsteert] Belgium

"Plugstreet", [Ploegsteert] Belgium. The photo shows a destroyed building. Ploegsteert Wood was a sector of the Ypres Salient. It is located around the village of Ploegsteert in the Walloon region of north-western Belgium. After fierce fighting in late 1914 and early 1915, Ploegsteert Wood 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 Ploegsteert Wood as "Plugstreet Wood". Photo from album which possibly belonged to Lt Reginald Vigars Prenter (RVP), 72nd Bn.
