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.

Yoong Liat, "at" seems to be perfect to me too. Thanks.

I take your original version to mean the particular point in time when an event is scheduled to take place.

Since you have now another source to obtain a better choice, use the better one by all means.
