"The flag was slowly
lowered while we all stood at a salute, taken off the rope without
it touching the ground and placed in a small bonfire started for
this purpose. When the flag was completely burned, a white
sheet was raised in its place.
Nobody pulled down our flag that was flying from the
topside flagpole. The photograph is re-enacted propaganda, pure bunk."
