Lest We Forget

Thanks to Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae and his well-known poem, '' In Flanders Fields" the poppy and Remembrance Day are deeply linked in the minds of Canadians.

Canadians have died in the Boer War, World War I , World War II, the Korean War, The War in Afghanistan and 1 Canadian died in Syria fighting Against ISIS.
