How would you personaly interpret In Flanders Fields?

During WW1 poppies flowered all over the land where the fighting had been taking place - as they do in any recently disturbed soil. For that reason, we British still wear poppies in our onholes in November to remember the dead. The crosses are figurative, marking the places where millions of men died. The lark is a symbol that however awful man is to man, nature still rules. The second stanza makes it clear that the dead who fell in battle are talking - they point out that until they were killed they were just men like any other men and they shared all the emotions the living still feel. They ask the living to continue the fight and they p on a metaphorical torch, saying that they can not rest easy in their graves if the living do not continue the battle. I don't like this last stanza, as it does encourage young men to go on and kill other young men, merely because they are the foe. The cause is thought to be a noble one - hence the reference to the torch which is being handed on. Perhaps the best way to have kept faith with the dead would to have been to arrange an honourable peace in order that others did not have to die and the world be spared a century of conflict. The poem was written in 1915 when perhaps a few were still all 'gung ho' about the war. Read the poems of Wilfred Owen (who was killed in the last days of the fighting) to get a different perspective
