Some lines from the page on on (note: violence/kinda gore)
"At the sight of an officer, he automatically straightened up and saluted. The sniper's bullet caught him in the left temple and blew a ragged hole in the back of his helmet. Lofty looked surprised and sat down. By the time I reached him, he was blinking stupidly. As I undid his helmet strap, I heard Ken say softly, "No."
The helmet came away and with it a large piece of the boy's skull, large gouts of blood and some pieces of grey matter. Lofty sighed almost gratefully and his eyes closed. I retched onto the sap floor."
Man the Scholastic Dear Canada/I Am Canada books are a lot more violent/realistic than the American equivalent. There's a Dear Canada book set during the Halifax Explosion that was descriptive with the violence as well.
