Verleyen also shows how the popularity of the poem spread like a fire. "In Flanders Fields" became a universally recognised symbol of sacrifice and peace. The poppy became the world-wide symbol for all those who died in war. <p> In the second part of the book Verleyen tells about everything that reminds us of John McCrae, both in Flanders and abroad. <p></div> <br><br><br><br> </small> <img src="images\flanders_eng_foto.jpg" alt="Essex Farm Cemetery" height="265" width="370"> <small><small><br><br> Essex Farm Cemetery shortly after the war.</small></small><br><br><br> </td></tr> <tr> <td width="20"> <br></td> <td width="20"> <br></td> <td width="20"> <br></td> <td width="20"> <br></td> <td bgcolor="#E6E6FA" width="20"> <br></td> <td bgcolor="#E6E6FA" width="350"><font color="#b22222"> <br><b>In Flanders Fields</b><br> Herwig Verleyen<br><br> <small>Paperback<br> 72 pages<br> 35 photos<br> 8,95 EUR<br> ISBN 90-5508-025-X<br><br></small> </font></td></tr> </table> <table width="820" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td bgColor="#ffffff" width="195"> <br> </td> <td colspan="5" align="center" bgColor="#ffffff" width="553"> <small><small><small> <br><br>Uitgeverij De Klaproos, Ezelstraat 79, 8000 Brugge, tel. 050-349 759<br>URL: http://www.klaproos.be <br><b>e-mail adres: info@klaproos.be</b> <a href="mailto:info@klaproos.be">zend een e-mail naar De Klaproos</a></small></small></small></td></tr></table> </body></html>
