"In Flanders Fields" is a poem by the Canadian poet, soldier, and physician John McCrae. McCrae wrote the poem in 1915 as a memorial to those who died in a World War I battle fought in Ypres Salient (Belgium) and were buried in a makeshift grave marked by bright red poppies. It was a common sight in Flanders Fields for soldiers to pass through fields of poppies and to send pressed poppies home to their loved ones. The poem also addresses the question of the next generation's responsibility to carry on the soldiers' battle. It's enduring legacy continues to be felt today, with the poppy serving as a symbol of remembrance for those who have died in service to their country.

What is the history of the poppy flower that people wear on Remembrance day?

During World War I (1914–1918) much of the fighting took place in Western Europe. Previously beautiful countryside was bombed, blasted and fought over, again and again. The landscape quickly turned into fields of mud with barren scenes where little or nothing could grow. Bright red Flanders poppies (Papaver rhoeas) however, were delicate but resilient flowers and grew in their thousands, flourishing even in the middle of chaos and destruction. "In Flanders fields, the poppies blow, between the crosses, row on row." So begins the poem In Flanders Fields. In early May 1915, shortly after losing a friend, a Canadian doctor, Lt Col John McCrae was inspired by the sight of poppies to write this now-famous poem written during the First World War by John McCrae, a Canadian physician mourning the loss of his fellow soldier and friend
