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?
