Please leave a comment about this music video. In Flanders Fields poem by John McCrae; music and vocal by Anthony Hutchcroft.

"In Flanders Fields the poppies blow"

John McCrae wrote this poem on May 3, 1915 while still at the battlefront. It is the world's most famous war memorial poem and this song is meant to honor that.

"...the torch be yours to hold it high"

The song "In Flanders Fields" was created to commemorate Remembrance Day (November 11th) plus the 90th anniversary of the end of the First World War (1914-1918) and the 90th anniversary of the death of Lt. Col John McCrae (1872-1918).

"If ye break faith with us who die...we shall not sleep"

Lest we forget; I'd love to hear comments from veterans & families of veterans.

Dance choreography by Lee Kwidzinski; dance performed by the Fraser Valley Youth Dance Theatre.

  • My cousin is the first soloist in this :) And the queen of England saw this right after it was posted. She thanked all the dancers personally. It's amazing how dancers are affecting our memories of our loved ones. Thank you, to our soldiers, and these dancers. Both striving to make a difference in this world

  • WOW That is very intense like i mean i read this poem really fast but ever since i watched this video i read it slowly and passionately

  • Beautiful! I showed this to my 8th grade Social Studies students when we finished studying WW1. A fitting tribute - thank you for posting this.

  • IT'S SO SAD MADE ME CRIED

  • very moving, thanks

  • :') makes me cry

  • @wakingdarknesslight I'm pretty sure we live in a free country, and I'm pretty sure it's because of the men and women who died serving our country for that freedom and you can wear one if you choose to. They can't do anything about it, and if they try there is also a labour board you can go to. :) Wear it with pride :)

  • Very moving. My family have served in the Canadian Forces in every war since WW1. It is heartwarming to know that people still care.

  • i love this

    

  • wow
