Hi everyone,
this is a sentence from a text about WWI (Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun) and I am not sure if I got it right:
"Middle of the service, flares go up and somebody gets a beed on Timlin and shots him right smack in the bottom."
flares = luminous signal
somebody gets a beed on ... = somebody is aiming at ...
Do you agree with my interpretation?
Yo.
