with all the improvements in armament technology and bombers and artillery, sometimes the most horrifying thing to think about from the world war was the simple ways that you could die without even expecting it.

Like it's grim when you see the (brilliant, simple) wire cutters added on the fronts of jeeps, but then you think of why they put it on... oof, just to be riding along a quite road with your windshield down and then whack
(and the danger is relevant, always have to know any trail you intend to speed down)

This whole thing is an entertaining read, for instance:

A few words on the effect of mines might not be amiss. A thing the size of a Hawkins grenade may crack a link but NOT necessarily immobilise the tk. 2O lbs of Mr.WU's picric acid will blow a track and a rd wheel if close to the surface. Mr. WU's normal practice appears to be 40 lbs of picric acid (2 box mines) up to two ft down. Half a sqn may go over it before it goes up, and its effect depends entirely on the ground. In one case it merely blew the bed rolls off, and the rations out of one bin. In another it took off two pair of rd wheels and three ft of track.

Beyond one case of concussion NO damage tocrews has been reported.

I once, as a tk OP (see Tac) got a little close to the receiving end of our own tk fire and 20 pr rounds arrive without the well known whine. They crack overhead like outsize bullets. In spite of my faith in the 20 pr and the gnrs of 8 KRIH thiss was a rather unsettling performance and is worth bearing in mind when supporting inf.

"Stole" was a joke. The tank hit low-hanging cable car wires and dragged them along about 4 blocks. The only reason he didn't die is that someone else hit the wires first and blew them.
