-John McRaeIn 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.
^Avro Lancaster, beautiful bomber crewed by Canadians. You can see 1 of the surviving 2 Lancasters flying around Niagara (this year they were replacing the engine) on Saturdays, flying out from Hamilton Airport. My Grandfather was a tailgunner in one at age 17.
If you are looking for a book which captures the WWI experience, I recommend Three Day Road - By Joseph Boyden.
