"... Do POWs carry guns?"
... It has been known to happen ... Japanese troops policed parts of Asia immediately after the surrender .... American POWs took over command and leadership of POW columns being force-marched west during the Last 100 Days ...
but ... I do stand rebuked for a foolish observation that I, myself, considered re-writing. The look of dejection on the faces is most often seen on the faces of columns of POWs. In retrospect I think those Indian soldiers are pulling back from their attack on Monte Casino Monestary.

and thank you Indian soldiers for being there. My grandfather served alongside Indian troops in France in 1915 and my father in France in 1940 as well as in the Middle East and Italy.

Reminds me of the time I was helping a buddy at reserve drill load a used astrodome from our C-119 into his trunk. Who comes walking thru the parking lot but the group c.o. He says" You boys know they do random checks at the gate". We put it back in the salvage bin and we weren't checked. The mark of an excellent commander.

Whoever the photog was did a good job. It has to be a 30th of a second to get the complete prop disc especially at night. We know it is a long exposure because of blurred sleeves and trousers in the slipstream. Allison eng and may be 4 gun wing.
