In Memory of Port Burwell and Bayham's Fallen Soldiers
For the past two years, the Port Burwell Historical Society has been commemorating Bayham's Fallen Soldiers, the young men who gave their all in service to Canada during World War I, via our Remembrance Day Facebook posts.
In order to provide a less fleeting remembrance, the Society has created this page in their memory.
It is an ongoing project.
The Port Burwell Cenotaph
Located in the Market Square section of Port Burwell, the Ken Kirkpatrick Memorial Parkette houses the Cenotaph, erected in 1929, commemorating those of Port Burwell and the surrounding area, who gave their lives in WWI in service to Canada. The memorial also lists all those of the area who served and returned home after the Great War ended. An additional plaque was later added to remember those who perished during WWII.
In Flanders Fields
"In Flanders Fields" is a war poem written during the First World War by Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae. He was inspired to write it on May 3, 1915, after presiding over the funeral of friend and fellow soldier Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, who died in the Second Battle of Ypres. According to legend, fellow soldiers retrieved the poem after McCrae, initially dissatisfied with his work, discarded it. "In Flanders Fields" was first published on December 8 of that year in the London magazine Punch. Flanders Fields is a common English name of the World War I battlefields in Belgium and France.
It is one of the most quoted poems from the war. As a result of its immediate popularity, parts of the poem were used in efforts and appeals to recruit soldiers and raise money selling war bonds. Its references to the red poppies that grew over the graves of fallen soldiers resulted in the remembrance poppy becoming one of the world's most recognized memorial symbols for soldiers who have died in conflict. The poem and poppy are prominent Remembrance Day symbols in Canada, where "In Flanders Fields" is one of the nation's best-known literary works.
In Flanders Field
In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
