Flanders Field

Flanders Field is a reference to a region in Belgium that was heavily affected by World War I, especially during the battles fought there from 1914 to 1918. The name is most famously associated with the poem “In Flanders Fields,” written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, which memorializes the soldiers who died there. The landscape became symbolically linked to sacrifice, remembrance, and the tragic costs of war. Today, Flanders Field serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of honoring those who fought and lost their lives in conflict.
