About 12-5-16On Quarter gaurd tonight. Was told that we were likely to go away very soon. Sentries over the Clink have had to have their Rifles loaded while on Sentry go. I suppose this is because of that Bayonet episode. it is rumoured that one prisoner was shot last night [passage deleted]13-5-16 SaturdayOne prisoner escaped last night now every prisoner has to have an escort of 3 gaurds, also we have to escort them up for court Martial, that means 1½ hours. The chap who let the prisoner escape was put in clink himself the Sergeant was put under arrest too! This morning we had trouble with the prisoners caused by the Reg.
