Hand-to-hand

I saw hand-to-hand combat only one time. Once in real life. And a thousand times in dreams. One who says there is nothing to fear from war knows nothing about war.

The Americans and the French began attacking the British with cannons. Then they fought the British soldiers hand-to-hand. Cornwallis knew he had no chance to win without more troops. He surrendered to George Washington on October seventeenth, seventeen eighty-one.

The warriors trained tirelessly, perfecting their combat techniques as they went hand-to-hand in their daily sparring sessions.
