I arrived at Glenrowan by train at about 2.30 am on the morning of the siege.
Begining of the siege
I watched the start of the siege from the railway platform (RC1609)
I had a firearm and went forward with the police to the ditch for a time. (RC10033)
We helped the police. Many of the men had taken wrong ammunition with them, and the consequence was that they had to send back for ammunition, and Mr. McWirther and myself sorted the carbine and Martini Henry ammunition and gave it out to the men as the messengers came to the station for it.
