THE SQUARE. _Ques._, by Lieut.-Col. Booker to Major Gilmore. “Were you satisfied with my conduct on the field?” _Ans._ “Col. Booker asked me the same question in Port Colborne, and I now give him the same answer that I did then, which was that I could see nothing in his conduct to disapprove of except with regard to the formation of the square, which I thought at that time was a mistake and I think so still.” _Ques._ By Court. “Who gave the order to form square?” _Ans._ “Lieut.-Col. Booker gave the caution to look out for Cavalry, and I gave the command to form square.” AMMUNITION OF Q. O. The paragraph beginning on page 77, and ending on page 78, in this chapter is inaccurate as respects the alleged non-supply of ammunition; but not as regards the omission to post sentries on the arrival of the Q. O. at Colborne. The misstatement made on authority which I trusted was unfortunate, yet the ammunition served at Toronto was inadequate to go into a locality near the presence of an enemy. The following evidence touches this highly important question: _Ques._ To Alex Muir, Q. O. “How many rounds of ammunition had been issued to you?” _Ans._ “I received 5 rounds at Toronto before leaving; and 30 rounds at Port Colborne. I had 35 rounds.” To _Ques._ of the Court to Major Gilmore; _Ans._ “No. 5 company were armed, about forty of them, with Spencer rifles, and for those rifles they had under thirty rounds each man; the remainder of the company were armed with long Enfields. The whole regiment had on average forty rounds of ammunition per man.” _Q._ by the court: “How long were they under fire when the right wing of the 13th were advanced to their relief?” _Ans._ “I could not form any idea as to the time.” Major Skinner, Adj. Henery, Capts. Askin, Grant, Watson, Ferguson, Lieut. Gibson, Private Urquart, Editor of Spectator, all say that the 13th were engaged about one hour. DRILL OF THE Q. O.
