Hdqrs have one shell come over & caught a few in the sandbagged passage that leads to the tunnels entrance & killed 10 & wounded 7.
Not a bad tally for a small shell of only a few pounds weight but it happened to catch them in an enclosed space.
Sgt. Garvey had the bad luck to get killed.
Geo. Harris badly wounded.
