Default Re: Artilleries in WW-1 Combat

I cannot speak from experience , But My Father "A Volunteer with the A.E.F. 1917 - 1919", Carried the wound of a German Artillery In his right wrist until his death .

--

The range is Unknown but my father, was on patrol, and cut off behind enemy lines He was watching an open field for activity, from within a large shell hole and was shot through his right wrist and the stock on has 30-06 Rifle was broken by the same bullet.

--

It seams as though snipers were used to secure the rear areas and ordered to conferm all kills.

--

Turning around and sliding down into the shell hole he faced to the rear of his origilal position, Shure enough hardly had dad applied a tourniquet to his arm, and settled down with his 45 in his left hand, than a German Helmet slowly arose right in front of his Colt. His being a Machine Gun Mechanic he carried a 1911 Colt 45, "Thank God".

--

Nuf' said, Dad Came home the other poor soul did not . The German Trooper was armed with a long barreled pistol with a snaildrum and shoulder stock.

--

Dad used this German Weapon to capture Three German Soldiers and their First Leutenant. while making his way back to his Company. He The weapon was lost while he was in the hospital .

--

This is evidence enough for me to verify the accuracy of these long barreled 7.65 Lugers.
