  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, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days agoWe 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 dieWe 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.
