2015 Canada $20 Fine Silver Coin
100th Anniversary of In Flanders Fields
|
The year 2015
marks the 100th anniversary of the poem In Flanders Fields, which was
written by Canadian physician Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae amid the
horrors of the Second Battle of Ypres in May 1915. Through his
hauntingly poignant poem, McCrae succeeded in giving a voice to the
60,000 Canadians who would lose their lives in the First World War, and
ignited an international effort to keep their legacy alive. To mark this
anniversary, this fine silver coin is a solemn remembrance of those who
bravely served their country abroad in a time of war-lest we forget.
