In Flanders Field is a war poem written during World War I by Canadian physician Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. The poem describes the scene of poppies growing in a cemetery where soldiers who died in battle are buried.
The opening lines of the poem, "In Flanders fields the poppies blow, Between the crosses, row on row," have become iconic and are often recited during Remembrance Day ceremonies.
McCrae's poem serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during times of war and has become a symbol of remembrance for those who have lost their lives in conflict.
