"Flanders Fields" is a poem written by Canadian military Doctor, Lt. John McCrae in 1915, after the death of his friend killed by a German shell in Ypres and buried in a simple grave with a wooden cross.
The poem became the symbol of the sacrifice of soldiers during the First World War. The symbolism of the poppy as a flower of remembrance originates from this poem.
