0020 hours (C) Message from Captain Towers: (B/1/35) At approximately 2330 hours an EM at bunker #20 had an accidental hand grenade go off. EM suffered injuries to head (not serious).
0050 hours (C) Message from Captain Towers: (B/1/35) The man who was on guard picked up a hand grenade which had been booby trapped by the previous element occupying that bunker. The pin fell out, the man threw it and got a piece of shrapnel in the hand. Not bad enough to bother with.
