Quoted: "What, What! Men, dodging this way for single bullets? What will you do when they open fire along the whole line? I am ashamed of you. They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance?" probably some officer about to take a sniper round to the head. |

Quoted: I think Sedgewick said something like: "They couldn't hit an elephant at this dis- " The sniper popped him before he could finish the sentence. That information was from the recent History Channel special on snipers. Yes, that is the reported actual quote.... Scott |
