Work of 4 MDS at Atessa

Wounds at that time were mainly caused by shells or bullets and there were fewer mine wounds, hence very few severe tarsal injuries. Figures are available giving the percentage of wounds caused by different missiles at that period as follows:

	Number	Percentage
Bomb wound (mortar)	62	8·25
Shell wound	396	52·72
Bomb wound (aerial)	60	7·98
Grenade	9	1·19
GSW (small arms)	149	19·84
Mine wounds	68	9·05
Weapon (unspecified)	7	·93
