EDWIN JOHN CLARK
I was not in a position to make any decisions of that nature, I can only say that in a state of undeclared war such as we were in, the modus operandi of most concerned people was to sit and do nothing.   When someone does something, I'm not prepared to condemn it, even if they make a mistake.   In every war you find occasions where they kill their own soldiers.   It's a matter of someone has to do something.   If it's wrong, that is very sad, try not to repeat your mistakes.   That is in a time of war.
