Runs very close to where I grew up, in fact through a field belonging to my old boss. He had the field tile drained and the trencher hit this pipe. The gas board said it was sitting higher than it should have been and there was an investigation to see if it had moved after it had been laid.

" Ben L. Salomon, who was an army dentist during World War II. In June 1944, he volunteered to replace a wounded surgeon, since there wasn't much need for a dentist during the fighting… When the gates of hell opened on him.

Japanese General Saito, after suffering massive losses and retreating further than expected, ordered the remainder of his men, somewhere between three and five thousand soldiers, to advance on the American forces to "die with honor."

Outside the medical tent, Captain Salomon saw a Japanese soldier bayoneting the wounded American soldiers inside. He grabbed a rifle and killed the Japanese soldier, then went back to tending to the wounded inside the tent.

At this point, the American defensive line collapsed without Salomon being warned, and two Japanese soldiers entered the tent. Salomon struck them both with his rifle, shot one, and pierced the other with his bayonet.

Four Japanese soldiers then began crawling through the tent. He shot one, bayoneted another, stabbed the third, and headbutted the fourth, allowing one of the wounded American soldiers to grab his weapon and shoot the Japanese soldier. Realizing the situation would only worsen, he ordered the medics to evacuate the wounded. He, however, stayed behind to cover his colleagues' escape.

When the military retook the area fifteen hours later, they found Captain Salomon's body lying behind a machine gun with seventy-six wounds caused by bullets and bayonets, twenty-four of which were inflicted while he was alive, according to the autopsy. In front of the machine gun were the bodies of ninety-eight Japanese soldiers piled up.

Based on the trail of blood from the wounded Captain, it was deduced that Salomon had to reposition the machine gun four times to keep his aim clear, as the bodies of the Japanese soldiers he was killing created piles that obstructed his line of fire. Ben L. Salomon is the personification of the expression "Living the Fire of Glory". "
