Carabao Allies Shaping Luzon Frontline Story
In the Luzon sector with the U S Sixth Army, carabao, the Philippine water buffalo, have proven a tougher adversary than Japanese in some encounters. One American soldier was fatally gored and others injured as the animals roam fields and roads. Filipinos rely on carabao for work and barter, while American troops adapt to their stubborn, sometimes hostile behavior. A Jap lieutenant guarding a roadblock was surprised when a polished 1940 car rolled onto the scene, signaling the capture of the first American-made automobile on Luzon. The 4 2 mortar aids in Pacific battles, notably silencing tankettes near Port Sual. Filipinos value army clothes and rations over money, trading them for food and labor.
