Caption with image: "Citizens and aliens, all people of Japanese descent." "We collected our baggage and hailed a truck to have it delivered to our barrack. The truck was already bulging, but our belongings were tossed in, too, and we climbed on top and held on. On the long, bouncing ride back to the barrack we stopped to make several deliveries. At Barrack 16 we were unloaded with our goods. We dragged our stuff to our stall." (p. 43, Citizen 13660)
