His poem was the inspiration for the use of the poppy as an international symbol of remembrance. John McCrae was a multi-dimensional man with a complex personal history. McCrae died overseas on January 28, 1918. This year’s civic celebrations will pay tribute to McCrae— soldier, poet and physician. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks still bravely singing fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
