Original Title: TIL PFC Edward H. Ahrens engaged a group of Japanese troops in melee combat alone & was found mortally wounded the next day with 13 dead around him. Credited with killing at least 3, his last words to his CO were "The bastards tried to come over me last night, I guess they didnt know I was a Marine"
