Does anyone know if there's an "official" german translation of the text or the title? I couldn't find anything about this in the german wikipedia...

• Completely against merging into Flanders Field. This poem is more than famous and notable enough for its own article, at least in Canada. It's often recited on Remembrance Day. heqs 19:06, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tag

Placed by an admitted UNencyclodidiot to cause disruption. The 2 artciles are not in any way similar as 1 is about a poem written in 1915 and the other is about an American cemetary. Since the U.S. did not enter the war until 1917, the poem was not not inspired by any U.S. casulties. Fair Deal 19:47, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] In Flanders' Fields?

Shouldn't the poem be spelled in Flanders' Fields, since it is about the fields of Flanders?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Leorge W Belch (talk • contribs).

No. The location he wrote about is called "Flanders Field", without an apostrophe. Additionally, being an artistic work, the poet named it as he saw fit. --Ds13 21:10, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Historic Moment

Anyone object to the addition of a link to the historic/dramatic recreation that was broadcast in Canada over the last several years? It featured Colm Feore as John McCrae.
