Let us recap

155mm round hit and house is still standing?

A 155mm round exploded, put holes in the roof, holes in the red brick
and devastated trees with shrapnel. To me it suggests an air burst
(time delay fuse) round and not a direct hit with 14.6 pounds of TNT
using a PD (point detonating) fuse in a direct hit. The house would be
flat on a direct hit with a PD fuse.


This article says it hit 500 feet from the house.

Usually two men carry the round on a tray to load the round and sacks of gun power.


They must live near a firing range.

Probably. At least within 23 miles for a 155mm

Old rounds are known to fall short of target.

The TV article originally cited says the shell hit 250 meters from the
post boundary.
