When he got to the end of the ridge he threw his grenade, but missed, the sniper spotting him and putting a bullet hole through his helmet and wounding him. He threw two more grenades, the third one getting the sniper. Lieut Langdon then walked to the First Aid Post and from there was moved to Field hospital.
