McCrae, John John was born in 1872 and raised in Guelph, Ontario and is remembered as one of Guelph's most famous sons. McCrae was more than a poet, and was in fact a doctor, soldier, author and artist. The paternal grandparents of John McCrae, Thomas and Jean (nee Campbell) emigrated to Canada from Scotland in 1849 and settled in Guelph. Their son David married Janet Eckford and they had three children; Thomas (1870), John (1872) and Geills (1878). John's early education was received in Guelph, first at Central Public School and subsequently at Guelph Collegiate Institute. While at Guelph Collegiate, John joined the Highland Cadet Corps which was affiliated with the school. One year later, at the age of 15, McCrae became a bugler in the local militia regiment of artillery commanded by his father. He later joined this same regiment as a gunner. At the age of 16, John was awarded a scholarship to the University of Toronto (left photo) due to his academic achievement at Guelph Collegiate. McCrae attended classes at the University of Toronto until 1892-3, when he took a year off his studies due to recurring problems with asthma. During this break from university John was a resident master in English and Mathematics at the Ontario Agricultural College (O.A.C.) in Guelph. After returning to Toronto and completing his B.A., John commenced studies in medicine at the University of Toronto and did a medical residency at the Garrett Hospital, a Maryland children's convalescent home.

Lt. Col. John McCrae, Canadian soldier, physician and poet, best known for his poem, "In Flanders Fields," was born in Guelph, Ontario, Canada in 1872. At 17, he joined the Canadian Militia [Reserve] as a private, eventually becoming a lieutenant in the Canadian Field Artillery. Meanwhile, he continued studies at the University of Toronto medical school. While training as a doctor, he also developed as a poet, and had sixteen poems published in various magazines. John McCrae received a Bachelor of Medicine from the University of Toronto, awarded the Gold Medal, and became resident at Toronto General Hospital and Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland. On the outbreak of the South African [Boer] War, McCrae postponed acceptance of the Governor's Fellowship in pathology awarded him by McGill University, Montreal. Instead, he volunteered for service as commander of D Battery, Canadian Field Artillery. Though suffering from chronic asthma, he saw active service in South Africa for a year as a gunnery officer. While there, he was disturbed by seeing the poor medical treatment of sick and wounded soldiers. After returning home and being promoted to the rank of major, McCrae resigned his Militia comission in 1904.

John McCrae The Overshadowed Poets of The Great War William Noel Hodgson Born: 3rd January 1893 Died: 1st July 1916 (first day of the Battle of the Somme) Aged 23 years Lieutenant William Noel Hodgson was a Georgian poet in the style of Rupert Brooke . He volunteered in 1914, and served with the Devonshire Regiment. In September, 1915, during the Battle of Loos, "[u]nder heavy enemy fire Hodgson, three other young officers and a hundred men held a captured trench for 36 hours without reinforcements or food. Hodgson was awarded the Military Cross" (Powell, A Deep Cry 99). Marching out of this hell-hole, Hodgson composed the incredibly resilient " Back to Rest ." In 1916, Hodgson began writing stories, poems, and essays about the front under the pseudonym "Edward Melbourne." Hodgson was especially fond of telling tales about his resourceful "batman" (his aide). His pieces enjoyed an audience in the leading magazines of the day. As his unit waited to move up to its jumping off position at the Somme Offensive, Hodgson composed his last poem " Before Action ." On July 1st, Hodgson's battalion attacked the German trenches south of Mametz. "At the end of the day the bodies of 159 men, including Noel Hodgson were found. The body of Hodgson's batman was lying at his side. The men of the 9th Battalion were buried in their Mansel Copse trench, and a notice above the trench read: "The Devonshires held this trench. The Devonshires hold it still" (Powell

Help Home Browse Selected Topics WWI ... Important Notices John McCrae (1872-1918) If one poem can be synonymous with the First World War, it is Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae’s “In Flanders Fields.” John McCrae was born in Guelph, Ontario in 1872. He studied medicine at the University of Toronto and interned with the famous Canadian physician Sir William Osler, at Johns Hopkins University. In 1899, McCrae postponed his medical studies to answer the imperial call to enlist for the Boer War. After the conflict, where he served in the Royal Canadian Artillery, he returned to medical practice at McGill University in Montreal. Throughout this time McCrae was an avid writer of poetry and was frequently published. Fervent in the imperial cause, McCrae enlisted in the Canadian Army Medical Corps soon after the declaration of war in 1914. “In Flanders Fields” was written during the Battle of Ypres in 1915 as McCrae was waiting for casualties. It was at Ypres that the German forces first used poisonous chlorine gas in combat. McCrae would have been one of the first to witness and treat the excruciating painful burns and blisters of the victims. McCrae died of pneumonia and meningitis brought on from overwork in January 1918. If you want to find out more about his vocation as healer, or avocation of poet, click on the links below.

JOHN MCCRAE McCrae earned an M.B. degree at the University of Toronto in 1898, and did further training there and at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore (as one of William Osler 's housestaff). After service in the South African War, he began medical practice in Montreal along with lecturing at McGill University, and medical writing, including A Textbook of Pathology for Students of Medicine (1912). During the first world war he served in Flanders as brigade surgeon of the 1st Brigade, Canadian Field Artillery. On May 3, 1915, during a lull in the fighting, and shortly after one of his comrades was mortally wounded, McCrae wrote out the rondeau, "In Flanders Fields." It was published, anonymously, in the December 8 issue of Punch , and has of course been reprinted and recited countless times since. He was subsequently stationed with the McGill unit at No.3 Canadian General Hospital at Boulogne. On January 23, 1918, he fell ill, and on the 28th died of lobar pneumonia complicated by suppurative meningitis. BACKGROUND - Prescott JF. In Flanders Fields - The Story of John McCrae.

A commissioned officer, Lt.-Col. John McCrae succumbed to meningeal-pneumonia in January 1918, days after being made senior consulting physician to the British Army. No other Canadian doctor had been so highly promoted. He was buried with full military honours not far from the fields of Flanders so poignantly immortalized in his poem.

McCrae's "In Flanders Fields" remains to this day one of the most memorable war poems ever written. It is a lasting legacy of the terrible battle in the Ypres salient in the spring of 1915. Here is the story of the making of that poem: Although he had been a doctor for years and had served in the South African War, it was impossible to get used to the suffering, the screams, and the blood here, and Major John McCrae had seen and heard enough in his dressing station to last him a lifetime. As a surgeon attached to the 1st Field Artillery Brigade, Major McCrae, who had joined the McGill faculty in 1900 after graduating from the University of Toronto, had spent seventeen days treating injured men Canadians, British, Indians, French, and Germans in the Ypres salient.

Volume 14 Number 1 1986 January A few years from now, as Remembrance Day glooms on the near horizon, some kid will trudge down to the library and ask for "stuff on Remembrance Day." A minute later he will be blowing the dust off In Flanders Fields: The Story of John McCrae . He will like the cover: a glossy blood-red dawn, four distant soldiers trudging through the mud. When he opens the book, though, he will find grey pictures, musty prose, and the somehow pathetically hollow reminder that "militarism and war are not answers to the dilemmas of the human condition." The fact is, McCrae glorified war. His view of history, his life-long militarism, his service and behaviour in both the Boer War and World War 1, his almost fanatical support for Canadian imperialism, all conspired to create the "recruiting poster rhetoric" of his famous poem, "In Flanders Fields." Lest we forget, Prescott trots out the rest of McCrae's war poems. In "The Anxious Dead" the speaker of the poem promises to keep fighting the good fight: O flashing muzzles, pause, and let them see

Review by Lorraine Douglas. excerpt: Ypres, a fourteenth-century town encircled by a moat, had been the home of a beautiful medieval cathedral and Cloth Hall. By the time John McCrae arrived in Flanders, however, the town, called "Wipers" by the soldiers, was ruined and refugees streamed from it. Troops were camped not far from the Yser Canal, where they cooked meals, wrote letters to loved ones, and strengthened friendships that, in some instances, began back in their homeland. This beautiful tribute to one of the most popular poems ever written presents the story of its creator against the background of the First World War. John McCrae was an idealistic Canadian doctor who wrote the poem in 1915 shortly after his friend Lieutenant Alexis Helmer had died at Ypres. The text of the poem and accompanying paintings are interwoven through the book. The artist visited Flanders and has recreated the dark landscape of the war in oil paintings filled with expressive brushstrokes. Linda Granfield includes numerous interesting details and reproductions from archival sources in her well-balanced and thoughtful text. Her writing is clear and easy to understand, but does not treat the subject simplistically. The controversy of McCrae's call to arms in the poem is discussed in the context of the times in which he wrote the poem. The continuing symbolism of the poppy in remembrance of war is explained. Endpaper maps bordered with scenes from the war show the geography of the major battles in France. This elegantly produced book is a valuable resource.
