Q. Killed by a volley, do you think ?


A. Well, I would not say volley. I don’t think there was a volley.


Q. There was no volley. Just individual shooting, you call it ?


A. No, there was no volleys used at all ; troops are not trained to fire volleys ; individual.


Q. Is it to your knowledge that a boy was shot that night ?


A. To the best of my knowledge, yes.


Q. Do you know under what circumstances he was shot ?


A. Exactly the same as the others at the same time.


Q. You are quite sure of that ?


A. I was up there I should think in less than a minute after the shooting took place. I was right up and it was reported to me that a boy had been taken into one house there.


Q. Was your unit accompanied by stretcher bearer or the medical corps ?


A. The medical corps was there.


Q. Where was it ?


A. It was in the Merger Building.


Q. At the corner of St. Valier and St. Joseph Streets was there a stretcher bearer section ?


A. There was not.


Q. What I would like to know is this : is it customary to have a stretcher bearer section with you under these circumstances when you are expecting casualities ?


A. We were not expecting casualities.


Q. You were not expecting casualities ?


A. No, I honestly thought there would not be any.


Q. Did you see a man called Tremblay who was lying in the street and was not unconscious, wounded in the legs and arms ?
