The Advanced Dressing Stations (ADS) were vital to the frontline men. They were the first port of call for the wounded and decided the fate of many. The lightly injured were patched up and sent back, the more serious moved to the rear, the ones deemed to be beyond help were left to their end with only a slight chance of reprieve or pain relief.
John McCrae worked in these very buildings and they were renovated and opened to visitors in the 1990s.

During the Second Battle of Ypres in 1915 a basic medical “station” for British Army casualties was first established in rough dugouts cut into the western bank of the Ypres-Yser canal at the rear of what is now Essex Farm cemetery.
A battle to defend the Allied ground in the northern Ypres Salient began on 22nd April 1915, following the launch of a deadly new weapon of war by the German Army. It was a poisonous gas cloud.
It was in the early morning of 23rd April, a few hours after the surprise German gas cloud attack, that the 1st Canadian Field Artillery Brigade took up a position on the west bank of the canal. Major John McCrae was with them. He was second-in-command of the brigade but was also a doctor by profession and thereby also the brigade surgeon. In the following days Major John McCrae tended the wounded in the dugouts cut into the spoilbank of the canal.
A farm nearby to the position was named Essex Farm on British Army battlefield maps. This is believed to be the location where Major John McCrae wrote his famous poem In Flanders Fields after burying a friend, Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, on 3rd May 1915.
