3 Sentences Translation (Latin to English)
Could you give me some help with these sentences from Latin to English, explaining any grammatical points I've got wrong so I understand in the future? My translations are just my attempts which I would appreciate it if you could correct.

With "castra", I believe it usually means just "camp", and that's how I read it here.
