Bouncing Dud She'll
Barely Misses D. {. Man

By Marine Corps Combat Correspondent
GUAM Delaye6 "A bouncing
Jap artillery shell missed q, marine
from Washington, D. c., and one
from Santa Ana, Calf, but killed 4
third Leatherneck several feet away.
Pfc. Gordon S. Burch, 80, of 5205
Illinois avenue NV. tells the story:
II was riding in jeep operated by
Pfc. Albert w. Miles of Santa Ana.
As we approached the village of
Agat, several hours after we had
captured it, we noticed men running
for foxholes. A truck ahead Of us
came to a sudden stop, with the
driver leaping from the vehicle.
Before we could get out of the
jeep, 77-mm. shell landed beside
us. 1t was a dud and it bounced
right over our heads with q weird
whirring noise. The projectile
struck another marine who was
several feet off the road. He was
killed instantly.
"The shelling ceased almost as
suddenly as 1t had started, but it
was some time before Bert and I
could top shaking. 1t kind of makes
fellow feel he is living on borrowed
time" f-
