"You won't like it here," said Major Gunn.
     
     I followed his eyes.  A platoon of Japanese troops and 
 
an officer were swinging down the road toward the camp, singing
 
a marching song.  Rumor in the camp had it that this group had
 
guerillas.  We soon saw that the rumor was correct.  The platoon
 
marched in military order up to our stockade and halted on an order
 
from the officer.  Then they impaled a gory Filipino head on a tall
 
fence post near our gate.
 
     This obviously was a subtle warning against any infraction
 
of our prision rules.  We were soon to learn that it was not an 
 
empty threat.
