Poppies were the only flowers that bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of flanders in World War I, they represent today the blood spilled during this terrible war. "Flanders fields poem" was written by Canadian Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae on 3 May 1915, after he witnessed the death of his best friend ....*meows*

[Lillie Woodells]

Good MornAfterEvening everyone! 

Val I'm so glad to hear of your progression!  I hope and pray that you are with us for a long long time!   *Hugs you tight and love you!*

*Sets out coffee, orange juice, eggs, bacon, sausage, steaks, ham, pancakes, golden fried potatoes with onions, grits, bacon wrapped salmon for Wildcat, corn beef hash, and a whole lot of love!

[valerie Inshan]

Geez, such an emotion sorry for the typing. I feel so relieved and lucky. And I feel blessed to have you all as friends. Hugs and kisses to you wonderful, adorable people! Thank you is a poor word compared to what I am feeling.

Yes val, it is a date that should make us stop and think, and remember those brave men who died that we may be free.

I must also spare a thought for my late Mum. She was in London when a bomb came through the roof of her house and killed her husband and three year old daughter. How she coped with that I'll never know.

Hugs to all.

/me gazes up at the Cenotaph.

[valerie Inshan]

Lia, sweet hun, you can"t imagine how my hugs are sincere. Hugs you tight Lia, I have no words but we don't need them right?

[DQ Darwin]

@Val: I am so glad and happy for you with this progress - you go girl, love you:)

A time to pause, A time to think, A time to remember

@Wildcat: Some history of a Canadian we are proud of

***********

On May 2, 1915, John McCrae’s close friend and former student Alexis Helmer was killed by a German shell. That evening, in the absence of a Chaplain, John McCrae recited from memory a few passages from the Church of England’s “Order of the Burial of the Dead”. For security reasons Helmer’s burial in Essex Farm Cemetery was performed in complete darkness.

The next day, May 3, 1915, Sergeant-Major Cyril Allinson was delivering mail. McCrae was sitting at the back of an ambulance parked near the dressing station beside the YserCanal, just a few hundred yards north of Ypres, Belgium.

As John McCrae was writing his In Flanders Fields poem, Allinson silently watched and later recalled, “His face was very tired but calm as he wrote. He looked around from time to time, his eyes straying to Helmer's grave."

Within moments, John McCrae had completed the “In Flanders Fields” poem and when he was done, without a word, McCrae took his mail and handed the poem to Allinson.

Allinson was deeply moved:

“The (Flanders Fields) poem was an exact description of the scene in front of us both. He used the word blow in that line because the poppies actually were being blown that morning by a gentle east wind. It never occurred to me at that time that it would ever be published. It seemed to me just an exact description of the scene."

J. McCrae
