Who wrote 'In Flanders Fields'?

  1. Leonard Cohen

  2. John A. Macdonald

  3. John McCrae

  4. Wilfred Owen

The correct answer is: John McCrae

'In Flanders Fields' was written during World War I, and is one of the most famous poems to come out of the war. The poem was written by Canadian physician and soldier, John McCrae. McCrae served as a doctor on the front lines and wrote the poem in memory of his friend and fellow soldier who had died in battle. Leonard Cohen and Wilfred Owen were also notable poets during World War I, but they did not write 'In Flanders Fields'. John A. Macdonald was the first prime minister of Canada, but he was not a poet and therefore did not write the poem.
