Yankee fighters can be counted on to be proficient in any kind of warfare, so it was not surprising that they displayed extraordinary skill after a short period of training with hand grenades and trench bombs. This remarkable photograph shows the Grenade exploding in what is supposed to be an enemy trench, which would have been blown to smithereens for the throw was accurate. The National Army men are learning how to win victories without exposing themselves unnecessarily. The trench bombs and grenades are deadly missiles when hurled accurately and Yankee arms rarely miss their mark. This photograph was made in one of the National Army [cantonments?].

Over a hundred were killed in the Paris air raid, practically all women and children. Many were seriously wounded.
