"They included such details as the date and time when the soldier recieved his wound and what kind of wound he recieved and on what part of the body. I have never seen this kind of detail recorded at any other time or anywhere else. What really surprised me was that most of the wounded were recorded as being wounded at approximately 1:00 pm on April 6th and mostly in the LEFT SIDE."
