OliverThis May marked the 109th anniversary of the day Lt. Colonel John <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/McCrae?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#McCrae</a> wrote his famous poem <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/InFlandersFields?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InFlandersFields</a> during the Second Battle of Ypres while mourning the loss of his friend Lt. Alexis Helmer. John McCrae, MD (1872–1918), being a physician and a soldier, wrote this moving poem which still shows the feelings and emotions soldiers had to deal with in these days: „In Flanders Fields“, a piece of wonderful art created in the horrible setting of The Great War on May 3rd, 1915 - 109 years ago.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Lest we forget… <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/battleofypres?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#battleofypres</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/flandersfields1418?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flandersfields1418</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/travellingthroughtheworld?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#travellingthroughtheworld</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> 🇧🇪 <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/visitbelgium?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#visitbelgium</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/ww1ww2historywarfronts?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ww1ww2historywarfronts</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/ww1_stories?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ww1_stories</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/commonwealthwargraves?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#commonwealthwargraves</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/ww11418lestweforget?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ww11418lestweforget</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/lestweforget?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lestweforget</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/canada?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canada</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/brothers?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#brothers</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/flandersfields?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flandersfields</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/respect?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#respect</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/thanks?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thanks</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/ig_belgium?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ig_belgium</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/ypres?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ypres</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/ieper?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ieper</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/thegreatwar?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thegreatwar</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/flanders?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flanders</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/visitflanders?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#visitflanders</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/ww1?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ww1</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/poppies?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poppies</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/stadieper?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stadieper</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/visitieper?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#visitieper</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/passionww1?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#passionww1</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/poem?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poem</a>⁣ <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/johnmccrae1915?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#johnmccrae1915</a> <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/johnmccraeinflandersfieldswherepoppiesgrow?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#johnmccraeinflandersfieldswherepoppiesgrow</a>⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣<a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/pixelfedbelgium?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pixelfedbelgium</a>

OliverNo one can prepare you for the impact Tyne Cot Cemetery has on a human mind of today, being not aware of the terrors and fears that came with The Great War. 11,965 burials, of which 8,369 are unnamed, mark the Belgian landscape while fields of crops and wheat embrace this monumental site.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Hold your breath and try to walk humbly over this burial ground once you made it to this region in Belgium - and try to learn from history (which we all should do)!⁣ <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/flandersfields1418?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener

OliverTwo weeks in <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/belgium?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#belgium</a>🇧🇪 were over too fast three summers ago and so was my photographic <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/journey?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#journey</a> into some facts and parts of <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/worldwar1?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#worldwar1</a>. I want to polish this account with a focus on the place where <a href="https://pix.pifferi.io/discover/tags/inflandersfields?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inflandersfields</a> has been created back in 1915. Stay tuned for my new travel- and photography-infos which will feature many aspects of history and especially this cruel war which ended on November 11th, 1918 and took so many brave lifes. <a
