Amazing video, Chris. One of the best poems of all time. I have a poster on my wall with that poem on it. One of my favorite videos of yours BTW, not many people read that poem better than you
My great grandfather is buried in the cemetery in Wimeraux, a few plots from the John McCrae plot. Among his effects, medals, insignia etc, is a silk poppy. Maybe from the original issue in Canada? He died of wounds at the end of May 1915.
Correction - the photo shown is NOT in fact a photo of Valentine Strudwick. It was misattributed to him in the source where I found it.
Great video, Chris. Sensitive as always. Love your WW1 content, wish they were longer
I don’t know how you read In Flanders Field without crying. One of the most moving pieces of writing ever written. 😢
Brilliant video, many thanks
Thanks Chris. God bless, Rob
Another great video 👍

I have a different analysis on RM Joe Strudwick. I think if you asked him, he’d say he died a man.
