#PayTribute

October 28 – November 11

 

2022 marks the 150th birthday celebration of our famous John McCrae, author of the "In Flanders Field" poem, which became a symbol of the sacrifices of all who fought and continue to fight to preserve the freedom that we enjoy today.

 

HSBC and the Royal Canadian Legion are happy to offer Canadians the opportunity to show their generosity in support of all of our Veterans by using any of the touchless Pay TributeTM boxes distributed across Canada.

 

Join us with your support. That's all it takes to Pay Tribute to those who have sacrificed so much for us.

Legion - Honouring 100 years of the Poppy #POPPY100

In Flanders Fields

BY JOHN MCCRAE

 

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
        In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
        In Flanders fields.
