       Hi Rick
               Not sure if i see a Bruce Chiswell ? but do recognize some of the faces.Recognized the memorial right away as my grandfather was mortally wounded there and died of his wounds in Boulogne field hospital.Western Ont. Regt.(now 4 R.C.R.).My dad passed on the Silver Cross to me .in which I have passed on to my son.Dad was sent home when his dad was killed,as he was underage.
                                                         Best Regards
                                                                     Al
