Well, here's a coincidence, Homer. I have that map. My wife ran across the official U.S. Army history of the Leyte campaign at a garage sale and bought it for something like 10 cents. I read it cover to cover as I didn't know much about the land war in the Philippines. I have been re-reading portions since the Leyte landing.

The story of Clifford's Battalion really touched me. They performed under such trying conditions he must have been an extraordinary leader.

When you said your father was on Leyte, I didn't imagine it would be here on Kilay Ridge!

I didn’t make the connection when you posted about Kilay Ridge the other day. I’m sort of putting the pieces together day by day. It was only this morning that I saw the name on the map and figured it out. I got the map from the 32nd Division website. I put a post together for tomorrow that will add some more information on that battle.
