Dead Men Risen The snipers’ story
Within 40 days, two marksmen from 4 Rifles, part of the Welsh Guards Battle group, had achieved 75 confirmed kills with 31 attributed to Potter and 44 to Osmond. Each kill was chalked up as a little stick man on the beam above the firing position in their camouflaged sangar beside the base gate - a stick man with no head denoting a target eliminated with a shot to the skull.
