Yes I'm trying to think.  I know for a fact that the wounded man had said to the person questioning him that they were on their way to Pietersburg to the station, they had to meet someone there with a red scarf around his neck. Something like this, there would have been some form of identification.  I cannot say who told me or gave me the information from the scene itself but this led to the fact that Brigadier Coetsee and myself, I don't know if someone else was present, at that stage went to the station and also observed the situation with the possibility that we might or could see such a person.
