Biography of John McCrae

John McCrae holds a unique position in the history of the First World War in that he is remembered as the man who gave us the poppy as a national symbol of remembrance. This Canadian doctor had experienced war prior to arriving in the trenches of France, and his military experience stood him in good stead.

‚Äö?Ñ¬ÆHis famous poem In Flanders Fields provided the world with an image of the fallen and a means of remembering them which has lasted to this day. Here we provide an in-depth biography detailing his childhood and education in Canada, his military service in South Africa and the First World War and his eventual death in January 1918.
