think these are only the tip of an iceberg, still got many
more... which is not reported!
I remember I read thru a incident report, a trainee was
accidently shot by a GPMG. I saw the pic, the round go thru his
thigh then out of his groin!
The accident took place in the 1970s during the live firing
exercise. The missed fire was happen at the end of the exercise
where everyone was clearing their weapon. one of the personnel saw
the round which was stuck in the barrel of the GPMG then he use the
mallet to knock to clear the stuck round . It so happen
that the round just when off after it was being mallet and the poor
fella was shot. The GPMG was mounted on the turret of the SM-1
tank and the decease was just standing directly in front of the
GPMG. The decease die on the way to the hospital cos the ambulance
driver didn't know the way to NUH.
Jia lat.
I'm not sure if anyone went to my primary school in the 90s.
There was an old Chinese teacher who was very patriotic and very
fierce.
She often repeated a story of how her son saw a friend run over
by a tank! Don't know if it was AMX (that time no SM1) or
Centurion.
She kept saying how the body was ground to a pulp and her son
could never forget. She told the story to half the school.
