2 In Flanders fields the poppies grow     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. John McCrae, 1915

3 Volunteer roles during the First World War:
Medical support for the wounded and sick – providing hospitals, doctors, nurses in the battlefields and back at home for returning soldiers. Transport services – transporting vital medical supplies, food, fuel and other things needed to provide for people’s basic needs. Missing persons service – helping families to track down people missing during the conflict and trying to reunite them or give them information. Rest stations – for injured soldiers returning from the field.
