Flanders' Fields

"Flanders' Fields" refers to a famous poem written by Canadian Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae during World War I. The poem, inspired by the sight of poppies blooming among the graves of soldiers in Flanders, Belgium, reflects on the sacrifices made by soldiers and the futility of war. It has become a symbol of remembrance, especially on Remembrance Day, honoring those who have died in military service. The red poppy has since become an iconic emblem of remembrance, symbolizing the bloodshed and loss experienced during wartime.
