I had to memorize that poem 35 years ago. All I remember is

In Flanders Fields the poppies grow
between the crosses row on row
something something the torch!
something something
In Flanders Fields.
Hugh E. said @ 9:15pm GMT on 11th Nov
And still the dark stain spreads between
Their shoulder blades.
A mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves.
And when the fight was over
We spent what they had made.
But in the bottom of our hearts
We felt the final cut.
