Answer 2

"In Flanders Fields" is a poem written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) of the Canadian Army. The poem commemorates the World War I soldiers who died on the Flanders fields. Flanders is located in the north of Belgium, near the border with France.

The story goes that, following one of the bloodiest battles of World War I, in the fields of Flanders in Western Europe, when the ground was completely churned up and muddied, thousands of red poppies sprang up. The seeds had lain dormant in the soil and, after being aerated with the churning of the soil from the soldiers' boots and fertilised with their blood, the poppies grew abundantly, springing forth new life from death.

The poem reads:

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 the 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.

Answer 3

by John McCrae, May 1915 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

Answer 4

The poem "In Flanders Field" is written by a man who was in the army during the world war. It is about the destruction that occurred and the death that surrounded him. It also, in the last section, speaks of our responsibility to continue the fight that they had started. By this, he meant that now that hundreds have died for the cause, we need to finish. We cannot quit once we've started.

In short, he was speaking about his experiences in the war, and used poetry as a coping method for the Horror he was facing daily.

Answer 5

Poppies

The millions of dead soldiers killed and buried in Flanders Fields (France) during World War 1 are asking the living to carry on the fight so that they did not die in vain. The red poppy is the symbol of WW1 because it grows on disturbed ground and therefore grew in abundance in Flanders during the war.
