Sugar Branded Heroism Under Fire in Philippine Stand
Three soldiers take cover at a water hole with a sharpshooter in a bamboo clump ahead. Adams proposes a grim draw of straws to decide who sacrifices, Welch is killed by a rifle shot while feigning fear, and Carney discovers the dead man left a sugar bait on his chin, revealing Welch's self sacrifice. The major later approves a Medal of Honor for Welch, honoring his courage and selflessness.
