The site at Millyford was occupied by the 103rd Company of the Canadian Forestry Corps, they arrived in the New Forest in 1916 first working at Norley Wood, but moved to Millyford early in 1917, 3 miles of narrow guage railway was laid out to assist in retrieving the timber. Later in 1917 100 Portuguese workers were attached to the Company which in itself consisted of about 200 men. The 125th Company CFC was based at Brockenhurst in 1918 and 1919 to which 200 German PoWs were attached.

Many Thanks.
