I knew a Russian doctor who'd been through the Russo-Japanese war, and who had gone a bit cracked.

He said he saw the Japs rush a trench.

They threw everything away and flung themselves through the Russian fire and simply dropped in masses.

But those that reached the trenches jumped in with bare hands on the Russians and tore their faces apart and bit their throats out--fairly ripped the faces off the bone .-- It had sent the doctor a bit cracked.

He said the wounded were awful,--their faces torn off and their throats mangled--and dead Japs with flesh between the teeth--God knows if it's true.
