McMaster University librarians discovered poppies from Flanders preserved among the pages of a collection related to the 1936 Vimy Pilgrimage. I wonder how many of the WWI vets on the pilgrimage realized that they would be fighting another war in just a few years time.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
