IMO E

A/B/D - use of "being"...

C - awkward construction...."..had been sniper's bullet..."

I go for A. Being is usually, but not always wrong.
B in spite of is wrong, no contradiction in the sentence
C wordy
D/E don't look like a subordinate clause

I agree too that E is correct. However, what is the wrong usage of "being"?

being is "present tense"
e.g. He is being given an award.

So I guess, "being" does not fit too well in the context as "aving the right hand and arm being crippled by a sniper's bullet during the First World War" refers to something that has already happened.

Though is only my perspective.. what do you guys say?
