Focusing on the themes of sacrifice and duty, Robert W. Service's poetry captures the essence of the Canadian North and the experiences of war. Initially aspiring to be a cowboy, he found himself in the Yukon working at a bank, where he crafted famous poems like "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" and "The Cremation of Sam McGee." His experiences as an ambulance driver and war correspondent during World War I inspired "Rhymes of a Red Cross Man," reflecting on the soldier's commitment and valor in the face of conflict.
