23rd April 2005	John Young P.F., The sketch appeared in the late David Harvey's book 'Monuments to Courage', sadly it does not depict Corporal Schiess. The drawing was based on an erroneously captioned photograph in Canon Lummis' work 'Padre George Smith of Rorke's Drift'. The matter has been previously discussed. John Y.
