A very interesting Read!
First hand accounts of desperate, close-quarter fighting with Krag rifles: Vivid details of magazine cut-off use and jamming rifle under panic conditions, cracking stock on attacker's head, but, continuing fight with stock damage!
Attached photo of Balangiga Memorial (Samar, P.I.).
A very complicated story, with very diverse perspectives, which goes to show that 'War is Hell'.
The aftermath was the brutal "March Across Samar". (It had to mess up minds for Life. I'm glad I wasn't there)!
