Abstract:
Consists of notes home from Thomas M. Bennett to his family in Indiana while he was stationed in the Philippines alongside the 4th U.S. Cavalry.

Soldiers' letters, counterinsurgency, guerrilla warfare, battlefield deaths by disease. Partial geographical list: Lafayette (Ind.), San Francisco (Cebu, Philippines), San Miguel de Mayumo (Bulacan, Philippines), San Isidro [likely Nueva Ecija] (Philippines).
