Seven demolitionists from RHQ were assembled under their section leader, Lt. Richard A. Daly, at a 'Y' junction west of the town. About a dozen German Riegel mines (anti tank mines) had been recovered from the dirt road where German Engineers had planted them. A table was brought out of a nearby Dutch house and the mines were placed on and near the table as Sgt Schlensker demonstrated how to open the lid and disarm one of them. The Germans had evidently placed a anti-tampering device in that particular mine, which exploded, setting off all the other mines stacked nearby. S/Sgt Schlensker was among those killed immediately by the devastating explosion. Bob Brigham, who had been wounded in LTC Cole's bayonet charge above Carentan, was fatally wounded and would die in the early morning hours of 23 October. Oreste 'Rusty' Quirici was blown into the nearby 'canal' (a narrow, water-filled ditch) and was rescued by other Deuce soldiers, although he lost one eye and part of his leg. Rusty survived until 2005. Lt. Daly and all the others present were killed outright by the blast. Others killed in this tragic incident included Pfc Edmund Ambrose.... </span></em></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><em><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">SOURCE : <a href="http://www.101airborneww2.com" target="_blank">http://www.101airborneww2.com</a></span></em></p></blockquote><p></p>
