All done except for the prisoner question; figuring that out now. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 19:12, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What I found was that the prisoners were being moved in a long line through wooded areas, and food seemed to be scarce during the march. What I'm not finding is any specific reason for their escape that can be explained easily; it seemed to be gradual over the course of the march. I can try to add something in if you'd prefer, though I don't want to make it overly wordy. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 19:26, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Went and did that, so all issues fixed. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 02:19, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
