| When David Hicks arrived at Guantanamo Bay 13 years ago, he had a gash to his head and the goggles he had been forced to wear were so full of sweat it was like pouring out a glass of water, former guard Brandon Neely says.
"He didn't speak that day; he looked really tired and walked really slow," Mr Neely told Fairfax Media in an exclusive interview.
"I saw David Hicks on January 11, 2002, and I escorted him off the bus at Camp X-Ray through in-processing, then into his cell on Bravo block."
Mr Neely had arrived only a few days before the first detainees so he could get acquainted with the centre.
Mr Neely said he would never forget his first impression of the cage structures he thought looked like "dog kennels".
