So this moro kris belonged to my great grand father. took a while but found out alot of informarion. he joined the us military in 1903 and eventually became part of Troop "K" 14th calvary. He was then stationed at Malabong in Jolo where he faced 105 field days on patrol.he faught at Cotta Pang Pang from what i gather from the diary. does anyone know any more information about this group of individuals?. this is probly the region where the kris and budiak were from.

Well, you probably saw this already since the photo you posted is amongst the rest, but here is an excellent group of images of the 14th Cavalry with some just of Troop K.
BTW, which one is great grand dad?

per what David said, you can check the website www.morolandhistory.com (David, your link didn't work), or you can contact the author, Bob Fulton directly. he's a good friend of mine. the man is virtually a walking encyclopedia when it comes to that era...

Yeah, for some reason the link didn't form, but the address is correct. If you copy and paste it takes you directly to the photos.

My great grandfather was corporal martin weiss. he is actually the one on the left in the chair. my grandma said he lied about his age so that he could join. he was 17 at the time he enlisted. he talked about being mustard for the first time and the football games between "m" and "k" troops. my email is mrlyon101@hotmail.com and i would love to talk with your guy from morolandhistory.com
