Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae, artillery officer, physician and poet, wrote In Flanders Fields at the height of Second Ypres, one of the most bitter battles of World War I. The centenary of that poem falls at the beginning of May 2015. As a result of the initiative of the RCAA and the dynamic leadership of the McCrae Statue Committee, the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery will erect a statue to honour John McCrae. DesLJQZRUNLVwell advanced. The figure will resemble McCrae and show him in a way highlighting all of his roles, with his dress as an Artillery officer and his medical bag nearby, as he writes. The statue will show the destruction of the battlefield and, at his feet, the poppies which are such an enduring symbol of Remembrance of that war and all armed conflict since. We are pleased to have commissioned renowned Canadian sculptor Ruth Abernethy, NQRZQIRUZRUNVVXFKDVWKH Oscar 3HWHUVRQVWDWXHDWWKH National Arts Centre in Ottawa and the statue of Glenn Gould outside the CBC building in Toronto.

We are now involved in discussions with the National Capital Commission (NCC) and anticipate that we will have authority, in due course, to place the statue near the National Artillery War Memorial, on Green Island at the junction of the Rideau and Ottawa Rivers, just off Sussex Drive in Ottawa. This ideal site is just minutes north of the National War Memorial.

Au champ d’honneur – Lieutenant-colonel John McCrae, mai 1915-mai 2015

Le lieutenant-colonel John McCrae est un officier d’artillerie, un médecin et un poète qui a composé Au champ d’honneur lors de la seconde bataille d’Ypres, une des batailles les plus horribles de la 3UHPLqUH*XHUUHPRQGLDOH. Le centième anniversaire de ce poème aura lieu au début de mai 2015. Suite à l’initiative de l’AARC et grâce au leadership dynamique du comité de la statue de John McCrae, le Régiment Royal de l’Artillerie Canadienne dévoilera une statue de John McCrae pour lui rendre hommage. Le travail de conception avance bien. La figure est créée afin de ressembler à McCrae et pour le montrer de IDoRQjPHWWUHHQYDOHXUWRXVVHVU{OHVDYHFVD tenue d’officier de l’artillerie et son sac de médecin, tout près, pendant qu’il écrit. La statue exposera la destruction du champ de bataille et, à ses pieds, les coquelicots qui représentent, depuis longtemps, le symbole du souvenir de cette guerre et de tous les conflits armés depuis. 8QPRGqOHSRVVLEOHGXPDMRU John McCrae, mai 1915 Nous sommes maintenant en pourparlers avec la Commission de la capitale nationale (CCN) et nous prévoyons obtenir la permission, en temps voulu, de placer la statue près du Monument national aux artilleurs, à l’île Verte, à la jonction des rivières Rideau et des Outaouais, tout près de la promenade Sussex, à Ottawa. Ce site idéal se trouve à quelques minutes au nord du Monument national de guerre.

Les citoyens de Guelph, en Ontario, travaillent également sur un projet pour honorer John McCrae, qui est d’installer une statue identique près de son lieu de naissance. Ils entreprendront une campagne de financement civile distincte et travailleront étroitement avec notre comité régimentaire de la campagne de charité situé à Guelph.
