| Now we all know MPs were NOT allowed to have ANY fun on their tours of duty. It was prohibited. Here a bunch of 23rd Americal Div. MPs in their club. Sgt. Recob is shown NOT having fun with a dancer who performed at the club. Everyone else seems to be having an awful time also. |

| Gary R. Heale, with a small platoon of MPs attached to the 196th Light Infantry Brigade, (note the patch). Here at a P.O.W. cage at Hill 35. These cages were built quickly to house VC brought straight in from the field until transferred to more permanent camps. Look closely and you'll see a few VC sitting under the shelter. |
