 While trading mortar fire back and forth with the enemy "A" Company had a couple of interesting incidents.Private R. L. Shaw had a mortar bomb glance off his shoulder and land directly in his trench without detonating.Later an "A" Company observation post was asked to observe the fall of shot from friendly mortars when they received notice to keep their heads down as a mortar bomb was coming over minus its tail fin, and would likely drop short.
