A Portuguese Horse at The Portuguese Fireplace
near Lyndhurst, New Forest, UK

Drive along the from Lyndhurst towards Bolderwood 
and you will see the strange sight of a fireplace 
sitting all on its own in the woodlands to your left.

"This is the site of a hutted camp occupied by a Portuguese army unit during the First World War. This unit assisted the depleted local labour force in producing timber for the war effort."

"The Forestry Commission have retained this fireplace from the cookhouse as a memorial to the men who lived and worked here and acknowledge the financial assistance of the Portuguese Government in its renovation."
