Naturalist Bruce Wright, participating in the battle on the side of the English battalion, claimed that the crocodiles were eaten by most of the soldiers of the Japanese detachment:
"This night was the most horrible, of those that any of the fighters have ever experienced. Scattered in black swampy bloody bloody screaming Japanese, crushed in the jaws of huge reptiles, and the strange alarming sounds of spinning crocodiles formed a kind of cacophony of hell. Such a sight, I think, very few people could observe on the ground. At dawn, vultures flew in to clean up what the crocodiles had left ... of the 1,000 Japanese soldiers who entered the Ramri marshes, only about 20 were found alive "
Arrgh.. Terrific!
Yes!
