4) In Flanders Fields - Fifty years ago, during the second battle of Ypres,
Colonel John McCrae, a Canadian medical officer, pencilled the three
immortal verses of In Flanders Fields on a page torn from a dispatch book.
Colonel McCrae sent the poem to Punch anonymously, and the editor,
recognizing its beauty, printed it. As if by magic the verses reached the
outer fringes of the earth in record time. "This poem was literally born of
fire and blood during the hottest phase of battle," wrote McCrae's
commanding officer, Major-General E. E. B. Morrison. "My headquarters were
in a trench on the top of the bank of the Ypres Canal, and John's dressing
station was dug into the foot of the bank. Many times during the 16 days of
battle he and I watched the chaplains burying their dead whenever there was
a lull. We often heard the larks in the morning singing high in the air,
amid the crash of shells and the reports of guns in the battery just beside
us. And we saw the crosses, row on row, grow into a good-sized cemetery."
Since 1915 the wooden crosses have been replaced by granite headstones, and
a memorial with a few lines of the poem engraved on it stands nearby. McCrae
himself is buried in Wimereux. On Armistice Day each year town officials and
the British vice consul hold a brief ceremony at his grave, and sprinkle it
with red poppies.
In Flanders Field the poppies grow, between the
crosses, row on row,
that mark our place, and in the sky the larks still bravely singing, fly,
scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago we lived, felt dawn, saw sunsets glow,
loved, and were loved, and now we lie in Flanders fields.
Take up our guard with the foe, to you from failing hands we throw,
the torch, be yours to hold it high! If ye break faith with us who die,
we shall not sleep, though poppies grow, In Flanders Field. John
McCrae
