Once Upon a Time in War
A member of the USCG photographed standing in reverence beside resting comrades who gave their lives to win a small atoll on the road to the Philippines, 1944
2 Moro men. Each has a Barong short sword. My guess is that these men are Tausug Moros, since the Barong was the Tausug's favorite weapon. Tausug is a portmanteau of Tau (meaning "people") and sug (short for sulug, meaning "ocean current"). The Barongs are ornamental (see the fancy-looking handles), so they are probably chiefs.
