John McCrae
"I regard myself as a soldier though a soldier of peace" Gandhi. I believe that Gandhi was trying to say that if he was a soldier he would want to be a soldier of peace not war. I think John McCrae is a soldier of peace because he wrote a poem called "In Flanders Fields" and it was about how war is not the right way to handle things, and if you went to Flanders you would either be angry or sad because you see all of these crosses as a mark of all of the people who died in the war and on top you would see blood- red poppies around them. John McCrae, born in Guelph, Ontario, went to war in Ypres April 1915. He had a lot of professions. For example: a doctor for medicine at the Alexandra Hospital, assistant doctor for medicine at the Royal Victoria Hospital, the branch of an army that specializes in the use of weapons, a medical officer, an officer in charge of medicine, and a person who studied causes of diseases, the study of nature and the changes in the body caused by a disease. After John McCrae died on January 28, 1918 his popular poem "In Flanders Fields" was published in 1919. John McCrae felt very strong about war so he put what he saw, felt, and learned while being a soldier and put it in his poems.
