Summary[edit]

Description
English: "Happened to be two other Marines confined to the brig so the sleepy sentry made one of them a proposition. He, the sentry, would let the prisoner out if he, the prisoner, would take the watch. The prisoner agreed, they exchanged clothes, even to the gun, and the original sentry crawled into the vacated cell and went to sleep. Everything went along smoothly until the corporal of the guard inspected the posts and noticed the guard in the prison and the prisoner on guard. Now the sentry is an ex-sentry and is permanently occupying the cell he usurped from its original owner.

Love,

Edward"
