What To Expect
The Ploegsteert Memorial
The PLOEGSTEERT MEMORIAL commemorates 11,347 servicemen of the United Kingdom and South African forces who died in this sector during the First World War.
Christmas Truce Memorial
In the fields outside the village, one of the most unlikely sporting events in history took place over Christmas 1914, when the two sets of exhausted troops declared an unofficial ceasefire, sang carols, and ventured into No Man’s Land to exchange alcohol, tobacco and food. Commanding officers on both sides, it is said, were not amused. On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, a series of impromptu football games were staged along the 500-mile frontline, but the most famous of them was at Plugstreet, when the British contingent included a number of kilted soldiers from the Argyle Highlanders, up against the 133rd Saxon Regiment for Germany.
