It's been a while since I visited the grave of John McCrae.
Strange, really, when I have spoken about him on countless tours.
Most people know the poem. I enjoy sharing the lesser-known stories also, including Bonneau the dog, Bonfire the horse (his "beautiful chestnut gentleman") and the little details that reveal a bit more about the man behind the famous words.
Even better today was sharing those stories with Ceriel (my step-son) 🥰💙.
By the way, I am currently on a family holiday. Where there is something WW1 related, Kimbo will find it. 😳
