Hendrik Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Congratulations ! Quite the find indeed. Would you mind sharing the page which has the poem on it ? Being born some 50 kilometres from where it was originally written, I would love to have a picture of that ! Regards, Hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrik Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Great ! Many thanks !!! A few years ago I visited the advanced dressing station where the poem is believed to have been written originally. Here's a couple of pictures you might like : Regards, Hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanna Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 Hendrik that photo is awesome! I have never in all these years seen a recent photo, or even a possibly confirmed photo of where McCrae wrote that poem....now I have thanks to you. I appreciate that more than you know....

Hendrik Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 My pleasure ! Came across another one on my computer, possibly taken at the Ypres museum ... Regards, Hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanna Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 Nice! You even have a plan view of the building(s). Is this one of your personal collection that you took a photo of for archive purposes or was this something that you just happened to find on the internet by chance..?

Hendrik Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Hi, As with all my pictures above, It's a picture I took myself at the time when visiting the Ypres area ... the plan was in one of the museums dedicated to the "Great War", just can't recall which museum it was at.
