In Flanders fields

We stayed a few weeks near Ypres (Belgium) last summer. Very impressive places refering at WO1.

In Flanders Fields' is a poem written by the Canadian army physician and poet John McCrae. He wrote it in early May 1915 in his medical aid station near Essex farm, 2 km to the north of the centre of Ypres. The poem was published on 8 December 1915. John McCrae died on 28 January 1918, while in charge of the Canadian General Hospital in Boulogne. He is buried in Wimereux cemetery (Pas-de-Calais, France).
lovely page... my father-in-law loved the poem... I scrapped a page for him once using the words... no more war
 
Such a poignant piece, beautifully done. The colors play strongly in the emotion of this piece, evoking sorrow and hope.
