In Flanders Fields

Lt Col John McCrae at Ypres | 1915 | Lt Col John McCrae, field surgeon, Canadian Field Artillery

[Clive]

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

Hey !! I got one of those pins last Saturday night at the Honours and Awards banquet at our local Legion. I wore it today in the center of my poppy to hold it on. Those cheap little pins we use don’t work :)
