About a million soldiers from more than 50 countries were wounded, went missing or were killed in Flanders Fields during the First World War .

More than 66,000 Canadians lost their lives and more than 172,000 were wounded during those four hellish years .

Lt.-Col. John McCrae was 41 when he enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force .

More than 4,000 Canadians laid down their lives at Passchaendale in Belgium .

It’s truly haunting to stare out over the farmers’ fields in the area knowing there are still missing soldiers waiting to be found in the ground.

“Every year we find dozens of soldiers, often when there is road work being done or something,” Ureel said when war dead are discovered they are buried at the nearest cemetery related to their country of origin.
