Someone (didn't bother remembering who) had corrected me on the meaning of the
word "Shiloh" - I apologize for my initial statement that it meant "peace"
- my explanation of the word "Shiloh" comes from James Lee McDonough's
book titled "SHILOH - in Hell before Night". On page 4, McDonough states
"... Shiloh, a Biblical word meaning, ironically 'a place of peace'..."

My earlier interpretation of "Hollering Shiloh" still stands, even though
the combatants would be hollering for 'a place of peace' rather than for
'peace' . . . .
