SATURDAY RIDE 7


45. Sgt. Green turned to his driver. "I must go inform Captain McGroaty we are arresting one of his men," he said, and spinning on his heels he marched off toward the Motor Transport office.

50. I looked up to see Capt. McGroaty, my commanding officer, striding toward me minus his cap and jacket, with Sgt. Green following closely o his heels.


53. "Yes, Sir," I replied. It was obvious the Captain was a tougher problem than my Dad.

54. "I can't imagine what possessed you to do such a stupid thing, but I'll talk to the Colonel and do what I can for you. No go with the Sergeant-Major."

55. A word from the Captain in the Colonel's ear could not fail to help me.

56. As Sgt. Green and I took our places in the Land Rover, Johnson pressed the started and we moved off on our way to Regimental Police headquarters.
