Government Advocate:
General Dyer, is it correct that you ordered your troops to fire at the thickest part of the crowd?

Gen. Dyer:
That is so.

Government Advocate:
1,516 casualties with 1,650 bullets.

Gen. Dyer:
My intention was to inflict a lesson that would have an impact throughout all India.

Indian Barrister:
General, had you been able to take in the armoured car, would you have opened fire with the machine gun?

Gen. Dyer:
I think, probably – yes.

Lord Hunter:
General, did you realise there were children – and women – in the crowd?

Gen. Dyer:
I did.

Government Advocate:
But that was irrelevant to the point you were making?

Gen. Dyer:
That is correct.

Government Advocate:
Could I ask you what provision you made for the wounded?

Gen. Dyer:
I was ready to help any who applied.

Government Advocate:
General, how does a child, shot with a .303 Lee Enfield, "apply" for help?
