Toying With Shell Fatal To Soldier

Columbus, Ga., November 28 – Private Edward A. Hammon, whose home is in 
Columbus, Ohio, was fatally injured late yesterday when a 75-millimeter shell 
with which he was toying, exploded in his hand.  The left hang and leg were 
torn off by the projectile and his face badly bruised.  He died shortly 
afterwards in the Benning hospital.

Funeral services were held at Benning today for the young man who had just 
passed his twenty-second year of life.  The body will be sent to Columbus.
