Poet and Doctor Colonel John McCrae Memorial
McCrae, who served in the Boer War, is popularly remembered as the author of what is probably the best-known poem of the First World War -In Flanders Fields. The four-sided stone is one of the so-called Albertina Memorials, and it was unveiled on 15 November 1985 by the Governor of West Flanders. There are other Albertinas that mark places around the battlefield but this one carries a poppy and not King Alberts Royal Cipher like the others. It is just outside Essex farm where McCrae wrote his poem in 1915. Date: 2012
