We killed a tremendous number of them, and owing to their massed
formation they were practically standing up dead in front of us. It
just suited us to be plugging at them. They came on as if they thought
they had nothing to do but take the lot of us, but they were surprised
to find that they could not do so. The Germans shoot promiscuously,
believing that their shots must hit someone. They had not the same
chance of hitting us, and rarely attempted to pick out their man before
they shot. I should think that in three days I fired between five
hundred and six hundred rounds of ammunition, and we did not waste any;
every shot was meant for someone: _Private P. Case_.
