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?
