Must be in Flander's Field..Enjoyed reading your work. Descriptive and expressive. I can't imagine the horror at the time of the war and the emotion flooding the families at home to learn of their child's death. Sara

Hello Sara Your comments are most thoughtful. As a university student touring France decades ago, I saw the poppies bloom in late spring. I did recall that memory to write. Best wishes, Brian
