The New Forest's role in WWI - a photo on Flickriver

The New Forest's role in WWI

            The most unexpected aspect of our visit to St Nicholas church in the New Forest was coming across the graves of more than 100 New Zealand, Indian and other soldiers who died in military field hospitals in the village of Brockenhurst during and after the First World War. 

Together with the impressive white memorial cross, erected in 1927, the graves constitute a military cemetery administered by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. An ANZAC memorial service is held here every year, attended by representatives of the New Zealand High Commission and the New Zealand Forces.

A number of field hospitals were established in the New Forest because of its proximity to Southampton. Between 1916 and 1919, some 21,000 servicemen, predominantly New Zealanders, were treated at Brockenhurst for injuries sustained in France and Belgium. Those who didn't survive are buried here.
