Borden Battery Posted 21 December , 2005 Share Posted 21 December , 2005 Here is a CEF Study Group recommended site related to Lt-Col John McCrae ... Borden Battery Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae Dec 2005 A Canadian federal government website with general background on Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae and includes the South African War and the Great War. The day before he wrote his famous poem, one of McCrae's closest friends was killed in the fighting and buried in a makeshift grave with a simple wooden cross. Wild poppies were already beginning to bloom between the crosses marking the many graves. Unable to help his friend or any of the others who had died, John McCrae gave them a voice through his poem. It was the second last poem he was to write. Source: http://www.vac-acc.gc.ca/general/sub.cfm?s...firstwar/mccrae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arras100 Posted 2 March , 2007 Share Posted 2 March , 2007 This is a bit of a late response, but I wanted to say that your drawing of John was pretty good. I think his face is a little wider in general, but I'd be curious to see if you attempted anything since this drawing (since this is an old thread). Cheers!
