“In Flanders Field” was written during the First World War by Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
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 sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel 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 fields.
I’d like to thank my friend Sargent Jeffrey Elo of the Ontario Regiment for doing virtual meetings with my Cubs, both the 1st & 13th, and our Beavers.. I was surprised & happy with how engaged the youth were during his presentation. With no veterans left from WWI & so few left from WWII, we have to keep remembering the veterans who died in these wars and the so many other missions since then.
