Making Tents

We were told that we would leave for home from Vladivostok and that we had to wait so that women and children would go home first. So we were brought to the middle of a vast field called Roochaki. There, we had to make the tents that were going to be used as temporary lodging places. Each unit was assigned to make its own tent. Since we all believed we were going home soon, we engaged in this task positively, trying to beat other units in completion.
