Grunts in the hole, Officers in the house.
I'd most likely take my chances in a artillery hole chances of another landing in the same exact spot are fairly slim though not unheard of......!
Would it be a good choice ! just seems a house is an easy land mark then when hit will bury you under bricks and mortar.

That's exactly how my grandfather was wounded in the Ardennes with the 77th Division. Taking cover in a shell crater and they dropped another one in. Good he survived or I wouldn't be here.
