Koje's new boss, Brigadier General Haydon ("The Bull") Boatner, got orders to "obtain uncontested control" of the Red-controlled stockades. He ringed the compounds with tanks, machine guns and infantry, began building smaller, more manageable stockades (500 men to each), into which the prisoners will be dispersed. Two rifle companies of British Commonwealth troops were shipped to Koje, to spread the onus of disciplining the prisoners among as many nations as possible.

...very powerful. And more, the Canon is a rounded character whose pomposity and reverence of classicism are explored in skillful detail. This character receives full understanding and appreciation in the hands of Thayer David. David gives a performance which is remarkable for its restraint and technical perfection. And Julie Haydon, the guest star, brings to her role of Brigid not only her appropriately chaste beauty, but a quiet and winning style...
