Flanders is the western part of Belgium where much of the First World War was fought, and many Canadian soldiers are buried. The poem was composed by a Canadian Army surgeon who was serving there. I've visited some of the Canadian Military cemeteries in Flanders, Belgium, and they are carefully tended to this day by the Belgian people.
