Quite the poem.
Thank you for sharing, Bill.

Many
Thanks for this one Bill. I knew the poem from history, but it became very real for me during my recent trip to the "Flanders Fields" in and around Ypres.

The poem itself is very moving, but the inscription at the bottom of the stone says it all. Grand job.

Excellent capture! Moving poem and interesting info!

Great shot and wonderful information

John McCrae sounds like a fascinating man. One who never lost his zest for learning and who clearly used his advanced level of education to help his fellow man. I think when we think back on what these accomplishments of his really were back in that period of time, he seems all the more extraordinary.

Thank you for ‘bringing him back to life’ for us for this little while.

We look forward to future "installements" about the members of your own family.

Thanks, Bill. My wife, who is Canadian, lost her great uncle at the Third Battle of Ypres…

geeezzzz what beautiful words!

Thanks so much for sharing!

lovely monument

Thank you for this. Elements of this history are shared by so many on both sides of the Atlantic.

The poem was familiar, but I did not realise that it was penned by a Canadian of Scottish descent.

Amazing, I do love poems and he was on fascinating man!

I to love to photograph plaques, great work by you Bill!
Have a great weekend my friend:-)

Wonderful monument and a touching poem–as always

Thanks for going the extra mile to provide such interesting
details about the photo–have a good day Bill!

very moving and beautiful capture, Bill !

Thanks for this Bill.

We need to be reminded about the history of our countries and hopeful if we remember we will not make the same mistakes again. "Wishful Dreaming?"

Only five in my congregation remember WW2/Korea/ or Vietnam. WW1, not a soul. I am probably the only one who has read about it and the great influenza epidemic of 1917.

Keep up your great work

He accomplished so much in his life, but he is remembered for his poem. I studied poetry for my master’s in literature.

Society so minimizes the arts–they are seen as insignificant–and yet this poem lives on.

Touching details,
Thanks for the effort!

Great shot!

interesting and touching Bill – my great Uncle was one who fell in Ypres – he was a handsome farmers son who joined theWelsh Guards – so sad

Just beautiful!
