For the article about the war poem, see In Flanders Fields. For the book by Leon Wolff, see In Flanders Fields. The 1917 Campaign.
Flanders Fields is the generic name of the
World War I battlefields in the medieval
County of Flanders. At the time of World War I, the county no longer existed but corresponded geographically to the Belgian
Flemish Region and the French
Nord-Pas-de-Calais region. The name is particularly associated with the battles of
Ypres,
Passchendaele, and the
Somme. For much of the war, the
front line ran continuously from south of Zeebrugge in Belgium, to the Swiss border with France. John McCrae wrote a poem called Flanders fields which is about the soldiers dying in war.
Flanders Fields was a large field that was surrounded by poppies. ANZAC troops fought there and many died. That is why poppies are given out and worn on ANZAC Day.
