In Flanders fields, by John Mc Crae | List of soldiers killed in action ( Ypres) |
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 adore the architecture....It's another great place with a lot of history that I heard of... | BillNJ Thu Aug 14, 2008 08:22 UTC
Thanks for the overview of this area. I especially like the explanation about poppies -- and the poem "In Flanders Fields". I also would like to get one of those beer bottles made of chocolate! | Nemorino Tue Feb 26, 2008 10:25 UTC
Great idea to get an "ID" card at the Flanders Fields Museum of someone who was in WWI and follow this person and his experiences. So it's not just a bunch of statistics, but the fate of a real person. Good that it is possible to rent a bike in Ypres. | Sininen Fri Nov 16, 2007 17:49 UTC
Such sad history, but very interesting page. I really must visit Belgium again one day and see more of it. |
