EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the Poet and Doctor Colonel John McCrae Memorial, located just outside Essex Farm in Ieper (Ypres), Belgium. Unveiled on November 15, 1985, by the Governor of West Flanders, this four-sided stone is one of the Albertina Memorials that mark significant locations around the First World War battlefield. Unlike the others, this memorial carries a poppy instead of King Albert's royal cipher. Colonel John McCrae, a Canadian surgeon and poet, is popularly remembered as the author of the best-known poem of the First World War, "In Flanders Fields." He wrote the poem in May 1915, inspired by the sight of poppies growing in the fields amidst the devastation of the Battle of Ypres. McCrae served in the Boer War before the First World War and was a decorated military officer. The image shows the memorial standing proudly, surrounded by lush greenery and poppies, symbolizing the enduring legacy of McCrae's poem and the sacrifices made during the war. The memorial serves as a poignant reminder of the past and the importance of remembering the history and the lives lost during the First World War.
