Osmand
Reagan died on February 25, 1945. We were cleaning out or sealing caves near
Artillery Point. As we moved along the beach we came to an area where the
cliff edge was very close to the water. Osmond stepped around the cliff’s
edge near the water line. He was shot through the head as he rounded the
projection. We don’t know for sure where the shot originated.

Poor communications between commands resulted in a "G" Company trooper to
the east of Infantry Point unintentionally killing an "H" Company trooper as
the latter rounded a projecting precipice of Infantry Point at water's edge.
During the course of the battles for Corregidor there were several isolated
and regrettable instances in which comrades inadvertently slew their own
comrades.
