although his specific responsibilities are unknown. He also functions as an interrogator/indoctrinator at the Citadel PW Camp. LT Gartley identifies him as BONES, an English speaker who has been in charge of foreign delegation meetings and has been a translator at Christmas Services. Maj Elias identified this individual by all four nicknames and said that he was a turnkey at Cu Loc, but had greater authority than other turnkeys, perhaps "special status". He told other turnkeys which PWs should be sent for indoctrination sessions, spoke good English and used slang expressions. He was present at the 1970 Protestant Christmas Service at the Cu Loa ' PW Camp (See photograph #61A) and at the release ceremony involving Sgt J. M. Sweeney, USMC (See photograph #57). He speaks in a soft, low voice. |

| KAHUHA (aka CECIL B. DEWIND) | A heavy set Lt Col, he is the senior military man for all the PW camps. LT Gartley saw him at the Citadel in the fall of 1969 doing office work. In the fall of 1970, he was in charge of the Christmas show at Cu Loc and was referred to as CECIL B. DEWIND. |
| MAJOR OR MR. BAI | Nyuyen Van Bai or Nguyen Bai. He may be a civilian with the equivalent rank of Senior Colonel or Major General with high level responsibilities in the control of U.S. PWs.

| BIG FRENCHY | VNU. In the fall of 1969, he replaced the camp commander at the Citadel and came on with a real "glad hand" approach saying that this was his first experience with Americans. LT Gartley later found out that BIG FRENCHY was responsible for a lot of bad treatment at the Briarpatch (possibly XOM AP LO PW Camp) when he was camp commander beginning in 1965. He speaks English with an extreme French accent and wears his hair brushed up. |
| BUG aka BUGEYE, DEADEYE, TORTURER and WILDEYE | VNU. Camp Commander at Ha Lo PW Camp, he may also be known as HITLER. BUG was the commander at LT Gartley's Little Vegas (Ha Lo) check-in.

Major Elias identified this individual as BUGEYE who participated in the interrogation of Elias twice per day during the first five days of detention.

Loc during the 1969 escape attempt following which he was relieved. He showed up again as camp commander of Cu Loc in the spring of 1972. He is notorious for bad food and poor organization. (NOTE: Because of the nickname given to FLUNKY, he and COCHISE may be the same individual. There dates match, both being relieved in mid-1969. It may be possible that one man commanded both camps and thus became known by different names to different PWs. However, LT Gartley, who gave about information on COCHISE, identified photo #53A as the Citadel Camp Commander relieved in the fall of 1969; he knew no nickname for this individual.) |
