Co-incidence - or something sinister?

[John_Hartley]

The history of the 18th Manchesters includes this little snippet for March 1916:-

"On the 7th, Lieut Powell was seriously wounded by the accidental discharge of a revolver by a brother officer in "B" Company mess; and on the 8th, Sec-Lieut. J L Nelson was killed at Duck Post by the accidental discharge of a rifle."

Makes you wonder if.........

Any mention of an enquiry with regard to the Mess incident?

[John_Hartley]

Not a thing, Ian.
