English: Saved by a shell |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: Death-dealing ammunition probably saved this injured seaman's life. He was holding a five-inch shell when a torpedo struck his ship, and the shell was so heavy it kept him from being knocked down by the blast, thus enabling him to fight through the ensuing fires. |
