Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: In Flanders Field, Hasfield Church John McCraes's poem on the wall of Hasfield church is a poignant reminder of the sacrifice of the First World War.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. John McRae wrote this poem in May 1915 when due to the chaplain being elsewhere he was asked to conduct the burial service of his friend, Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, was killed on 2 May, 1915 by a German artillery shell. |
