John Alexander McCrae (1872 - 1918) was a Canadian poet, physician,
author, artist and soldier during World War I. He is best known for
writing the famous war poem In Flanders Fields. In Flanders Fields
has been labeled the most popular poem written during World War 1.
McCrae wrote this poem in 1915 the day after his friend, Lieutenant
Alexis Helmer died. The poppies referred to in the poem grew in
abundance in Flanders Field where many war casualties had been
buried. Now the poppy is a symbol of remembrance.
