John McCrae

John McCrae.

"If ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders Fields."- John McCrae.

John McCrae, a famous poet, was born in Guelph, Ontario at November 30, 1872. McCrae was a brave solider during World War 1. John McCrae was a Medical Officer and an Artillery subaltern in WW1 and went to the University of Toronto. McCrae is familiarly known for the author of Flanders Fields. He made this poem to represent the dead men in WW1 and the poppies in Flanders Fields. He wrote the poem in 1915 near the poppies in Flanders Fields. After three years, John McCrae died of Pneumonia in 1918.

I think that John McCrae wrote this poem to represent the dead men in Flanders Fields. Everyone wears poppies in remembering of the soldiers who fought in war. I think john McCrae is a great man because he made this amazing and truthful poem, and he also served our country. John McCrae served from 1899-1900, but the question is, what made him write this poem?
