coming back home (part one)

We crossed the border before dawn when security patrolling was not as stringent as in any other time of the day. There were twelve of us in the first of the six groups coming back to our homeland. I was the only civilian in our group, and the rest are guerrilla fighters hardened by strict discipline, rigorous training and daily struggle.

Are there any mistakes? Thanks.
