Image Captions We just roamed around that prison camp all the time, at least the army part of it. The only time we ever got down into where the guard tower and fences and that, we got picked up by the military police. We were taken to the Provost Marshall and he scared the daylights of out us. Then we went back home. -Gary Larsson
