flanders field poppies

The book won a major award, which isn’t surprising. Thanks Robert for your enthusiastic response. I knew only a little of what you’ve written about here. Thank you for your ever inspirational blogging. I’ll take a look at your new book info; thanks for the link. We visited the WWI memorials at the end of this summer.
During the 20th century, the wearing of a poppy at and before Remembrance Day(sometimes known informally as Poppy Day) each year became an establishe… Yes Pat I have. I just finished publishing my latest novel and haven’t started on a new writing project as yet, although I have a list. I look forward to reading a post of the Saint-Gaudens’ m emorial.

Yes, some of the information was too harrowing. Here is a link to a wonderful rendition of ‘In Flanders Fields’ as spoken by Leonard Cohen that I think captures the mood of this beautiful poem perfectly: Thanks for sharing this Frances, it is indeed a moving rendition, especially with the visuals, and also because Leonard is Canadian and so many Canadians perished on Flanders Fields. The roses were blooming around the bullet pocked/mortar punched buildings because of nitrogen from the ammo as you described here.

Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you for posting it and I am pleased you found it informative, Beautiful pictures also in the article.❤️. I enjoy reading each installment. Thank you!

(Pindar via Erasmus https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Pindar). After eight months of heavy fighting, the Allies withdrew, in January 1916. Here are some other articles of mine about the First World War in Belgium: I describe a couple of walks through Flanders Fields. This is a wonderful, well researched, fascinating & ultimately poignant post.

I see you have a new novel out this year, for which I wish you great success.

I’d never seen this explanation of the horrific “fertilizer” that promoted the growth during WWI.

In Flanders Fields was published on 8th December 1915 in Punch and became an immediate sensation in the trenches and around the English-speaking world. It helped popularize the red poppy as a symbol of remembrance. I’m glad you liked it.

I recently learned from a post on Sue Vincent’s blog about purple poppies to commemorate non-human deaths by war, and red and white ones for men executed for “desertion.”.

Visiting the Menin Gate for the Last Post – Discovering Belgium, Why are poppies the symbol of Remembrance Day! The swathes of poppies of course made a huge impact, tinged by the fact that “the blood of soldiers is the fertiliser for the poppy.”. Hello, thank you for this excellent post.

Camouflage uniforms from the NATO countries were lodged in various parts of the city. In the garden, it adds a vivid splash of red to informal tableau's. His friends and comrades, unable to find wild poppies to lay on his grave, ordered a wreath of artificial poppies from Paris.

I especially appreciate your post, because folks in the U.S. are barely commemorating the First World War. My grandfather and his brother (Canadian) both fought in WWI. Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly. It’s beautifully illustrated, and deals with a difficult subject with great tenderness and sympathy. I live part time in Limburg in the Netherlands and part time in Canada.

In Flanders Fields, one of history’s most famous wartime poems, written in 1915 during the First World War by Canadian officer and surgeon John McCrae. Thanks. Ann Bracken | Poet. Thanks for warning me, Denzil … I think I’d better pass on this one. We are the Dead. It was seen as representing the souls of those who died between 1914 and 1918, transformed into a million blood-red flowers. And thanks for linking the article, Thank you so much, Denzil, for this timely, thoughtful, in-depth look back at the significance of poppies on November 11th each year.
A valley south of Anzac beach was named Poppy Valley.

I was in Hungary in 1997 as a volunteer morale, recreation specialist with U.S. Army. Thank you for sharing! Lovely post, Denzil and very timely this week.

Why were the poppies of Flanders Fields so numerous? It’s so nice to know the history of why we wear poppies today as we honor the service and sacrifice of so many brave veterans and their families!

Lest we forget. I hope you enjoy your trip to Belgium in March; let me know if you have any other specific questions. Maybe too young to understand, but I feel sure he or she would have picked up the solemnity and seriousness of the place.

Not to such an extent as during the First World War.
