I seek the words, author, history etc. to a 'In Flander's Fields' related poem. The opening lines are (approximately): * In Flander's Fields the poppies grow, where'er the seeds have chance to blow, Among the ??? graves...*. Can you find the information I seek on this poem? Please note that this search may be very tough. You may wish to review information in Question IDs: 276552& 259815.Thank you. |

Greetings Brudenell: Some interesting information regarding the poem on the Canadian $10 bill is presented at http://www.snopes.com/business/money/flanders.asp concerning how many people apparently believed the poem began "In Flander's fields where poppies grow..." This may be of interest to you as you might be chasing an incorrect version of the original. Also, see the painting by Robert Vonnoh at http://bertc.com/subone/vonnoh.htm is titled "In Flander's field - where soldiers sleep and poppies grow" (1890) - this title may have also given rise to an incorrect version of the poem. I'm speculating, of course, yet I wanted you to view these references in case they prove to be of assistance. Best regards, journalist-ga |

Interesting stuff! I'm checking the references. By the way... the poem I seek is one that an Atlantic Canadian senior citizen only partly remembers from many years gone by. Only the opening lines are stuck in her head. Thank you for your interest. Best regards Brudenell |
