Poem Reflection on Flander's Field.

Remembrance Poppies




Poppies are forever linked with Anzac Day, dating back to WW1. They are a worldwide symbol of remembrance for the men and women who have died serving their country. Poppies made of light cloth or paper are also woven together to form wreaths which are laid at war memorials up and down the country. The poppies are a reminder of the sacrifice - the lives lost - in war.

The red or Flanders poppy was one of the first to grow and bloom in the mud and soil of Flanders. They were made famous by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae in his poem 'In Flanders fields'. McCrae was a Canadian medical officer who, in May 1915, had conducted the funeral service of a friend.  In a cemetery nearby, red poppies blew gently in the breeze. He saw this as a symbol of regrowth in a landscape of blood and destruction. He was upset at the death and suffering around him and wrote the verse in his notebook. Someone sent his words anonymously to the English magazine, Punch, which published them under the title 'In Flanders Fields' on 8 December 1915.                                                                                         



In Flanders fields 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 among the guns below.
We are the dead.  Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields
Take our quarrel with the foe
To you from failing hands we throw,
The torch be yours to hold up high.
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow,
In Flanders Fields
Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae
