".."In Flanders Fields" is a war poem in the form of a rondeau, written during the First World War by Canadian physician Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. He was inspired to write it on May 3, 1915..". Wiki. The 'event' was Christmas 1914.

BTW, I wasn't really referring to the 'poem', it is the 'event' itself that I find so interesting.
