Manila was ravaged by WWII, battered by both Japanese troops and so-called friendly fire from U.S. artillery barrages. At least 100,000 civilians were killed in the capital of the Philippines, which was at the time a U.S. colony, and large parts of its cultural heritage were destroyed. Yet the history books barely mention this. The former chief of the LA Times' Manila Bureau, Bob Drogin, went back to the city to uncover the story.

Putting an accordion arrangement of No Man's Land by Eric Bogle into a more compact lead sheet format, so I can play it without having to turn inconvenient sheets in a bulky book mid play! It is a beautiful tune by a Peebles-born Australian. #Accordion #Squeezebox #Music #SheetMusic #ScottishMusic #AustralianMusic #Scotland #Australia #WW1 #WorldWarOne #WWI #EricBogle #Peebles #ScottishBorders #History #WarHistory
