There was an oath, the Corporal fell over to his own left as shinbone met shinbone, and the Private collapsed, his right leg broken an inch above the ankle. "Pity you don't know that guard, Sim," said Slane, spitting out the dust as he rose. Then raising his voice "Come an' take him on. I've bruk 'is leg."
"Shrapnel?" I stammered timidly. The answer was confused. All I could get out of it was that a dumdum bullet had smashed his right shinbone. But what was that he kept mumbling about a hook each time his hand trembled up to his glowing cheek?
