#flanders fields

by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

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.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved, and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch, be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields 🙏…🕉️

Today is Remembrance Day!! (The artwork here is unfinished, but I'll try finishing it later today while also making a separate post)

In Flanders fields John McCrae (1915)

"In Flanders fields, the poppies blow, between the crosses, row on row..."

Happy Remembrance Day to everyone that commemorates today

Chemical warfare started in Flanders' fields in 1917.

The German chemist Fritz Haber released mustard gas, also called "yperite" after the Flemish town Ypres (Ieper), in the Belgian town Tielt. The wind took the gas to Ypres where it killed Belgian and English soldiers.

Not a TF2 but still amazing art i made yesterday. I was inspired by the poem 'In Flanders fields' and same named song by Sabaton and was so shocked by its historical background and all the horror of WW1.
