I noticed the Canadian Machine Gun badge in there... Brutinel's innovative contribution to Canada's Great War successes. Great collection! Most people only think of them in MG emplacements at the trench level but they did so much more, from the motorized Machine Gun Brigade that exploited and assisted the infantry's advance to their indirect fire which kept Jerry ducking as he performed his duties behind the front lines. You obviously put a lot of time, money, and effort in compiling this museum worthy tribute to a lesser known branch of the Armed Services. My congratulations to you because it impresses the heck out of me!
