tom swift among the diamond makers

 Norman Grubb was with his platoon it was zero hours. In world war one they were going over the top as they had named it. To go he ordered they went over the top and machine-gun bullets let loose like lead r, ain he watched almost every single one of his friends he knew where shotgunned down he and another private took cover in a bomb hole then the private slumped down shot dead then norman heard a thump and a stinging pain down in his leg he looked down to see blood welling down there he got his gun as a crutch and hobbled away as his friends saw him they yelled lucky for norman he has got a blimey. Meaning he most likely has a wound that took him out of the battle but won't kill him.
