“In Flanders field the poppy blows…” 100 years go

100 years ago, at the eleventh hour of the eleventh month of 1918, the shooting stopped.

2 minutes before, at 10:58, George Price felled, the last Canadian casualty of the 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.
In Memoriam, Dr John Mc Crae, Canadian Medic, the author of In Flanders Field who fell on the 28th of January 1918
