Two weeks in #belgiumπŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺ were over too fast three summers ago and so was my photographic #journey into some facts and parts of #worldwar1. I want to polish this account with a focus on the place where #inflandersfields has been created back in 1915. Stay tuned for my new travel- and photography-infos which will feature many aspects of history and especially this cruel war which ended on November 11th, 1918 and took so many brave lifes.

Two weeks in #belgiumπŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺ were over too some summers ago and so was my photographic #journey into some facts and parts of #worldwar1. Not only was #inflandersfields created at this place, indeed the youngest fallen hero is buried here: #vjstrudwick is told to have fallen at the age of 15 - unbelievable and sad! 😒 Lest we forget all those who gave their utter sacrifice for freedom - true heroes they were!

This May 3rd marked the 110th anniversary of the day Lt. Colonel John #McCrae wrote his famous poem #InFlandersFields during the Second Battle of Ypres while mourning the loss of his friend Lt. Alexis Helmer.

John McCrae, MD (1872–1918), being a physician and a soldier, wrote this moving poem which still shows the feelings and emotions soldiers had to deal with in these days: β€žIn Flanders Fieldsβ€œ, a piece of wonderful art created in the horrible setting of The Great War on May 3rd, 1915 - 109 years ago.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣
