Transcription
Now I was the youngest in that, in the battery and I didn’t have any particular job, just everything, anything. So I was to look after the mules, go back and tie them up. We were victims of the enemy. Their shoot, their planes and one thing and another. While I was tying up the horse and I was right at his head and the piece of the shell came down and split his head in two. I hadn’t yet, you know I was still along side of him. So there was an officer there and the mule was still on his feet and he shot him, he shot the mule.
