    John McCrae

    John McCrae was a medical doctor and poet. He served with the army in the Second Boer War and later in Europe during the First World War. The suffering and death he witnessed in the war became the subject of many of his poems, including "In Flanders Fields," perhaps the most famous Canadian poem ever written. McCrae died in 1918 and was buried with full military honours.

      Shaking my head at the library's decision to discard again. Wow. This was so well done. I learned the following stuff from this book that I should have learned in either public school or college:

      * About the origins of the poem "In Flanders Fields" (to which I hadn't even been exposed; can you believe it?) and its impact.
      * About poppies and their connection to WWI (NEVER KNEW)
      * An important date to remember...why don't we remember?
      * Everyday issues of a soldier in WWI
      * Warfare stuff I cared little about, but think is interesting now that I've learned it.

      I feel that this is really important history, a matter of cultural literacy at the very least, and I feel compelled to pass this along.
      This stunningly illustrated and well-written book ends with "Lest we forget." Man...we really did forget. Mission accomplished McCrae, Granfield, and Wilson. Fortunately, I predict that this is just right for my jr. high kids, so the message won't end here. Thank you.
