Prison Fare

I would like to enlarge on every word that I recorded so that you might realize how the Americans lived while in prison but that will be impossible. Every word has a lot of meaning to me. For example, on March 20 I wrote "I got thirds." That meant I got a little extra food. I also wrote on that day "no extra food" and that had reference to food over and above the daily ration we had been getting. Our C.O. had taken a few cases to the German medic and he said we did need more food and they promised it but on this day we got word we would not get the extra food.
