About 345 men from Puerto Rico died in the Viet War. They weren't all soldiers, some were US Marines, Airmen and Sailors. Often times those men killed in action were awarded the Bronze Star medal. A photo of their (military issue) headstone will state what medal was issued (posthumously). The US Military lists MOH recipients but not normally lesser awards.

What was it like in the performance of battle for the terracotta soldiers?

Battles were hard and tough with no way to see the enemy approaching. Soldiers didn't have boats to sail on or helicopters to fly in for battle. All they had were their weapons made of bronze. Some weapons would be a bronze sword, bronze halberd, bronze hook, bronze arrowhead's, bronze crossbow trigger, and a bronze battle axe. Many soldiers didn't make it out alive, but in the end the enemy had fallen, and the Terra-Cotta soldier's had won the fierce battle and gained back their territory.
