Artillery commander and brigade doctor, Major John McCrae<\/a>, wrote this poem after being called upon to conduct a burial service for a fallen comrade. Legend has it he was dissatisfied with what he had written and threw it in the trash. We only know about it today because someone came behind him, pulled it out of the rubbish bin. The poem eventually found it’s way into a newspaper and has been well-loved ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m planning to commit this one to memory and to have my children do the same. Not only is it a historically significant poem, but it also bears our family’s name. And it was written by a man who, like my own dear husband, served his country as an army doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
