OVER ALL OUR COMPLEX COUNTRY,
OVER ALL OUR NATION SPREAD
IS A BAND OF NOBLE HEROES,
IS OUR ARMY OF THE DEAD.

In Flanders Fields
From 1914 to 1918, Flanders Fields was a major battle theatre on the Western Front during the First World War. A million soldiers from more than 50 different countries were wounded, missing or killed in action here. visitflanders.com
The poem, ‘In Flanders Fields’, by John McCrae, went on to inspire the use of the poppy, which once grew on the battlefields of Flanders Fields, to become an enduring symbol of remembrance across the world.
