The great concrete shell of the old Garrison Barracks
overlooking the parade ground formed the center of our position. Its
partially ruined compartments were being used for Regimental
Headquarters, as well as for supply and ammunition dumps and for the
field hospital which we had improvised. A cordon of companies had
been stretched around it at distances of two hundred to three
hundred yards from the center.
In addition to this inner circle, one or two
companies had spearheaded beyond the perimeter to break up any
strong points the Japs might use for assembling. Lieutenant
Turinsky's company was one of the leaders in this movement.
