    Extractions: John McCrae (1872-1918) Tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog (1914-1918) is er rond het Belgische stadje Ieper zwaar gevochten; het gebied werd vanwege de uitstulping die het in de frontlijn vormde ' the Ypres Salient ' genoemd. Men onderscheidt zelfs drie periodes met grote veldslagen waarvan de eerste in 1914 plaatsvond waarbij het gedecimeerde Engelse beroepsleger (the Old Contemptibles) een doorbraak van het Duitse leger wist te voorkomen. De tweede slag bij Ieper (de Engelsen spraken over 'Wipers') vond plaats in 1915 waarbij de Duitsers voor het eerst chloorgas gebruikten als strijdmiddel. De derde slag bij Ieper is de beruchte Slag bij Passendale waarbij de gruwel elke verbeelding tartte en waar in totaal meer dan 560.000 slachtoffers waren te betreuren. Tijdens de tweede slag bij Ieper bevond zich in het plaatsje Boezinge een verpleegpost waar de militaire arts John McCrae werkzaam was. Hij was van Canadese afkomst, geboren in 1872, en had zich onderscheiden in de Boerenoorlog (1899-1902) waaraan hij als arts-vrijwilliger had deelgenomen. In 1901 nam hij ontslag uit militaire dienst en wijdde zich aan een medische carrière tot op 4 augustus 1914 de Eerste Wereldoorlog uitbrak en hij zich opnieuw meldde als vrijwilliger. Hij werd benoemd tot arts bij de First Brigade van de Canadian Field Artillery. McCrae schreef met een zekere regelmaat gedichten waarvan ook een aantal in literaire bladen werd geplaatst. Op 22 april 1915 werden de eerste aanvallen met chloorgas ingezet te Boezinge, de plaats waar McCrae als arts frontdienst verrichtte tijdens de gevechten. Diep onder de indruk van de gebeurtenissen schreef hij op 3 mei het gedicht IN FLANDERS FIELDS, misschien wel het meest bekende gedicht uit deze oorlog:

    Extractions: John McCrae "In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row..." - John McCrae, 1915. In what would become the best known poem from the "Great War", John McCrae was solemnly describing the horror, suffering and loss that he saw as he treated the wounded who had fought near Ypres, Belgium - an area known as Flanders. It was here that the Germans first used deadly chlorine gas in their attacks. Undoubtedly, John was not spared of its poison. According to some accounts, the death of a friend, Lieutenant Alexis Helmer of Ottawa, who was killed by a shell on May 2 1915, greatly affected McCrae. When Lieutenant Helmer was buried later that day, it was McCrae who performed the funeral ceremony in the chaplain's absence. John McCrae was born (November 30 1872) and raised in Guelph, Ontario, where the McCrae home still stands, serving as a museum. John graduated from the University of Toronto medical school, receiving the gold medal, in 1898, but soon found himself leading an artillery battery in the Boer War. Years later, when the Great War began, he felt compelled to enlist as soon as possible. No one could have imagined the horrific events that would unfold in the next four years, but John was one of many witnesses who saw the bitter fruits of War. Like thousand of school children, I memorized the words to John's moving poem. May I never forget them, nor the sacrifice made by brave soldiers who gave their lives for our freedom, and now lie in Flander's Field.

Alexis Helmer, as well as the scenery of Flanders Fields, wrote the poem, In Flanders Fields , during the War of Ypres. In fact, this poem was not the only poem John McCrae wrote...

In September, 1915, during the Battle of Loos, "[u]nder heavy enemy fire Hodgson, three other young officers and a hundred men held a captured trench for 36 hours without reinforcements or food. Hodgson was awarded the Military Cross" (Powell, A Deep Cry 99). Marching out of this hell-hole, Hodgson composed the incredibly resilient " Back to Rest ." In 1916, Hodgson began writing stories, poems, and essays about the front under the pseudonym "Edward Melbourne." Hodgson was especially fond of telling tales about his resourceful "batman" (his aide). His pieces enjoyed an audience in the leading magazines of the day. As his unit waited to move up to its jumping off position at the Somme Offensive, Hodgson composed his last poem " Before Action ." On July 1st, Hodgson's battalion attacked the German trenches south of Mametz. "At the end of the day the bodies of 159 men, including Noel Hodgson were found. The body of Hodgson's batman was lying at his side. The men of the 9th Battalion were buried in their Mansel Copse trench, and a notice above the trench read: "The Devonshires held this trench. The Devonshires hold it still" (Powell
