Example Sentences
- "The regimental guardhouse was on the ground floor of the Regimental Headquarters Building at its southern end, facing the quadrangle. It was modern in every respect and about as secure as any prison. There were never more than about fifteen or twenty regimental prisoners confined in the guardhouse, men either awaiting trial or serving sentences of six months or less. Most of the sentences were for minor offenses, such as drunkenness, violation of orders, pilferage, and absence without leave—A.W.O.L. Men convicted of more serious offenses, such as desertion, larceny, insubordination, sex deviation, and other more serious crimes, were confined in the post prison."
