To read about a small but intense battle you probably never heard of check out the link on yesterday's thread. (See reply #21.) Notice the numbers of the opposing forces and compare to the casualties on both sides. That little island was an expensive piece of real estate.

Thanks for the contributions, Viiksitimali.
