[CINDERS]

Did the math's on the hit ratio's from that 19th May 1915 engagement,
Of the 948,000 rounds fired it took an average of 72.92 rounds to hit the Turkish soldiers with every 41.12 rounds killing a soldier understanding they were not on a rifle range firing over undulating scrub covered ground at an enemy that would be jigging all over the place plus the fact that the games afoot and their very lives are in danger spurring them on to get the rounds out.
It would be a very scary thing and I should imagine it takes a very dedicated and well trained soldier to calmly make every shot count with that mass of infantry advancing on your positions

you could smell it on your skin for days

And in your clothing...

[Bill Hollinger]

the smell comes from various amines two of which are rather colorfully named putricine and cadaverine. At autopsy we could mask the odor but not eliminate it. The amines would cling to the skin, I think they dissolved in the sebaceous gland secretions, and you could smell it on your skin for days after. Forensic pathology was interesting but it smelled bad and was frequently depressing.

I threw a uniform away when I worked for the sheriff's department when a partner and I dealt with a week old body in a camp trailer one very hot August afternoon in Bakersfield. That's why you used to see homicide detectives always smoking cigars Vick's Vapor Rub works well but as you stated, nothing works 100%.

we used a citrus based spray to mask the smell. To this day I can't smell citrus cleaning agents without flashing back to the morgue.
