POW Garwood seeks back pay after long captivity
The closed hearing at the Judges Advocate General's School, Virginia, was chosen by Garwood and his attorney. Garwood, from Adams Indiana, vanished near Da Nang, reappeared in Hanoi, and says he earned pay from September 28 1965 to March 22 1979 during 13 years five months and 22 days in POW camps. He faced accusations by other POWs of collaboration and assault, judged by a Marine jury of five former Vietnam prisoners after a 13 week court martial ending February 5.
