GDG- Arty Anti-personnel Effectiveness

[ccj at infionline.net]

Dick,

I don't understand the statement about some kind of "set" in your first 
sentence.  Further, I am not an expert on ballistic trauma, so I cannot 
comment on your apparent assumption that (if I understand what you're 
saying, and I'm not sure I do) somehow a significantly larger number 
artillery casualties (vice small arms casualties) die before reaching 
medical care.  But, this is your enquiry, so enjoy the research!

Regards,
Curt Johnson
