'''Glenrowan Siege 28/6/1880''' '''Special train leaves Melbourne to go to Beechworth - follow up on death of Aaron Sherritt'''

I got news that the train was being prepared and made my way down to Spencer St Station in train to cath the train in time

'''Train arrives at Benalla'''

The train stopped at Benalla to get the latest news from Beechworth and to pick up water

'''Arrive at Glenrowan'''

When the train was stopped by Mr [[Thomas Curnow|Curnow]] I got out of the carriage through the window and opened the door for Sup [[Hare|Hare]]. ([[The Argus (37)|Argus5/7/80]]) ([[Royal Commission report day 26 page 13|RC10301]])

I arrived at Glenrowan by train at about [[ev80-06-28Glenrowan|2.30 am]] on the morning of the siege.

'''Begining of the siege'''

I watched the start of the siege from the railway platform ([[Royal Commission report day 9 page 5|RC1609]])

I had a firearm and went forward with the police to the ditch for a time. ([[Royal Commission report day 26 page 2|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.[[McWhirter|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. ([[Royal Commission report day 26 page 13|RC10331]])
