When the question was put to him he didn't answer immediately.   It took quite a while because he sometimes lost consciousness. He would come to again and mutter things and then the answer would come.
	As I said, I was compelled to call the Army medic to come and give the injured person an injection in order to stabilise him. After he lost consciousness again and I realised that the person was critical and could die, and that he was of great value to us, I gave instructions that the person should be taken to Alldays immediately.  I knew that there was a hospital or clinic there.  At that stage I realised that the helicopter transporting Capt Bourne had already left and had already been airborne for some 10 to 15 minutes, and it certainly would not be able to turn back.  I was satisfied that the vehicle would be sufficient transport to get the man away.
	I can't remember who I gave the specific instruction to, but I can't imagine that I would have given the instruction to remove this wounded person to somebody other than somebody from Messina or Louis Trichardt, one of the security branch members, because Alldays and vicinity would not be that familiar for us who came from Pietersburg. We were not quite sure where the clinic was.  So unfortunately I can't remember exactly.  It was later said to me, and I quote what was said to me, that Warrant-Officer Gerber conveyed the wounded person and that some of the deceased were also in the same vehicle which went to Alldays.
