Portuguese Fireplace
The Portuguese Fireplace is a war memorial in the New Forest National Park, near the village of Lyndhurst, Hampshire, England. It is located on the road between Bolderwood and Emery Down, approximately from the latter. It is near to Millyford Bridge and is used as a Waymark.〔http://www.rffs.org.uk/archived%20programmes/Programme_March_June_2008.html〕 Because it was operated by the Canadian Forestry Corps, it is referred to locally as the Canadian Fireplace.〔
==Plaque==
Next to the memorial is a plaque explaining the significance of the fireplace which reads:
"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 the 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."
In World War I, local labour was in short supply due to the war effort. In order to help with the timber production for the war, a Portuguese Army unit working for the Canadian Timber Corps helped the local population whilst local foresters were away fighting. The fireplace is what remains of the cookhouse of the camp of those people who lived, worked and helped out in the area.
