Transcription

I remember one time, they were teaching us to throw the bombs, you know, it was about as big as your fist and you’d pull the pin out, throw it over the trench. You was in a trench throwing them and one fellow, he pulled the pin out and dropped the bomb. The sergeant just picked it up threw it over the top before it exploded. That fellow got an awful call down. He pulled the pin out and dropped it.
