MARKET LAVINGTON, Eng
land UP) — Auctioneer George Aus
tin was about to sell a set of
matched chairs at an open-air
auction on a local farm Monday
when a 25-pound high explosive
shell fell in a field several hundred
yards away with a terrific blast.
Two hundred startled people at

cover.
The shell brought down a power

nearby buildings and showered
stones and earth on a farm shed.
The shell was fired from an
army artillery range a mile away
from the village.
“This shell was a ‘plus’ shot,” an
army spokesman said. “It was on
a correct line of flight but over
shot by about 2,000 yards.”
