PFC. Clough Henry "Cough-Cough" Bunn
US Army
from:Minniapolis, Minnasota
My great-grandfather, Clough Bunn, only survived the war because his cunning. His camp was attacked by Japanese fighters, and the men all ran to the trees. All but him. He just stayed in his tent, knowing they would bomb the trees. The survivors came struggling back, wounded or stunned. The next day, Japanese ground forces caught them unprepared. During the fight, he was knocked out by a ricochet. His peer, a huge man, fell over him, strafed by bullets. Only a few survived.
