During the First World War, the woods, unlike other forest areas, were spared because they formed a resting area for British soldiers. There was a barrack where Anglican worship services were held, and there was a cinema room. A nearby farm, the present Hospitaalhoeve, served as a hospital. The Plank Road led to the center of Vlamertinge and the soldiers went to the front along this road. At the edge of the forest is the Hagle Dump Cemetery.
