Although he will always be remembered as a war poet, the Guelph, Ontario, native was a physician, a university professor, and a veteran of the Second Boer War before he ever laid eyes on the carnage at Flanders Fields. Citing rarely seen diary entries and letters, as well as never-before-published photos of McCrae’s early life, military historian and McCrae enthusiast Susan Raby-Dunne tells the complete story of John McCrae—a man whose final chapter of life made him immortal, but who accomplished so much and helped so many in the decades before.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raby-Dunne, Susan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Biography)","offer_id":45002394337504,"sku":"","price":5.97,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/BNCImageAPI_32f19a4a-fef1-44c2-82f6-af287b394fdd.jpg?v=1710854396","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/9781772031577","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
