WIRE repeat WIRE not fire.
As for wounds by friendly fire, in the main [except by artillery with only friendly fire occurring] they would be indistinguishable, and indeed no attempt was made. However, I do have well documented cases where a man was wounded on his own [friendly] wire and was investigated for a SIW rather than given a wound badge. Life's a bitch, as they say.
