1. John McCrae–immortalized by “In Flanders Fields” (a WWI poem written before he died) every Remembrance Day.
2. Robert Service–older generations will remember him for his 1900esque Gold Rush poems: “The Cremation of Sam McGee” and “The Shooting of Dan McGrew”, written when he was a bank teller for CIBC in Dawson. Afterward, fabulously rich from his early poems, he retired to a chateau in France.
