Eight of the shrapnel balls were removed from the forearm of one Bulgarian soldier. (Vide plate 109.) No. 43 was removed from between the thoracic wall and the scapula, to which position it passed by destroying the outer half of the clavicle, penetrating 6 inches from the surface. _The caliber of the missiles._ Millimeters. Greek 6.50 Servian 7.00 Bulgarian 8.00 Montenegrin 7.05 and 8.00 For comparison it may be observed that the United States Army rifle bullet is 7 millimeters, equal 30 caliber or 0.30 inch. The caliber of shrapnel balls varies somewhat, as do the weight and density, but all of them were approximately ½ inch or 125 millimeters in diameter. The caliber of all field guns (of modern type) in the Balkan wars were 75 millimeters, the “soixante-quinze” of the French, or about 3 inches.
