In Flanders Fields Historical Markers

Markers containing, or excerpts from, the poignant Great War poem, In Flanders Fields, and/or remembering its author, Lt Col John McCrae. The poem has become an enduring remembrance of the heavy cost of war, in particular through the post-war creation of the "Buddy Poppy" and its wearing during annual Remembrance/Veterans/Memorial Day commemorations.
