 Soldier Details:  Sig James Cole was laying on his bed 5 metres from where it hit.  James complained of ringing ears for days afterwards.  Sig Gary Grayson had just left the barracks having got a packet of fags and headed back to the Receiver building when it hit.  Gary was in the open 30 metres from the bunker and found himself on the ground, he heard nothing and felt as though someone had kicked him in the back.
