Simcoe County Museum Virtual Speaker Series - Did John McCrae break the Geneva convention?
Plans by the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery to erect a memorial for John McCrae, author of the revered anthem “In Flanders’ Fields”, raised a question about this medical doctor’s non-combatant status. LCol Vivian McAlister (ret’d) will review the military and medical lives of John McCrae to answer the question. He will use the opportunity to share little known information about the selfless contributions made by this Canadian icon.
