WW II Deaths

Indeed, a timely posting with the approach of Remembrance Day
(Canada)/Veteran's Day (USA).

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still wildly 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 high.
If you break faith with us who die,
We shall not rest though poppies blow
In Flanders fields.

Punch, 1915,
John McCrae, M.D.
Lieut-Col. Canadian Medical Corps
b. 30 Nov 1872, Guelph, Ontario
d. 28 Jan 1918, Boulogne, France
Died of pneumonia in the field hospital he commanded before the Armistice
Day which his poem now commemorates.
