My boss for many years was wounded by Willie Peter somewhere in France. They were assaulting a hill when the barrage came in. The wounds on his face still break open and drain a couple of times a year.

Nasty stuff. I will always be grateful for what he and the other members of my Dad's generation did to save the world from a madman.
