Added by The Korean War Veteran: Actually, if you look at them through glasses or a sniper scope, the veterans seem to resemble Dennis Moore from North Bay, Ontario, who played in the first Imjin game in 1951 (he had served in Korea with 2nd and 1st Princess Patricias and to his left are three boisterous veterans from Ottawa, Maurice Lavoie who served with the R22eR, George Guertin who is a proud veteran of the Royal Canadian Navy and Jean Paul St Aubin, who also served very proudly with the R22eR. We don t know which veterans won the shouting match.
