Help: Possible Kalinga Axe

imas560 · 12th June 2013, 12:42 AM

Hello Battara,
thanks for the info.
I have to admit that the topic of head hunting during WW2 in SEA has been an interesting diversion for me lately after seeing the Airmen and the Headhunters doco a couple of years ago (have since lost my copy but it is still available on demand from pbs). The Major Tom Harrisson and restoration of head hunting in Borneo against the Japanese story is fascinating which led me on to a document on the Rebellion/Resistance in Mindanao during WW2 which is also absorbing reading.
Fascinating subject.

Hello all,
