Remembering John McCrae
by Linda Granfield

“In Flanders Fields the poppies blow between the crosses, row on row…”

Every Canadian knows John McCrae’s famous words. But who was the man behind the poem? Follow John through his childhood and teens; his love of family, animals and sports; his years in medicine and the military; until the fateful day during the First World War when the loss of a close friend moved him to write that remarkable poem.

Over one hundred photographs, documents and images offer fascinating glimpses of John McCrae’s extraordinary life.
