"Was your court at the trial of Visser constituted like this?"
asked the President [of the Court Martial],
"and did you observe paragraph ---- of ---- section
of the King's Regulations?"
"Was it like this!" fiercely answered [Lieutenant Harry "Breaker"] Morant.
"No; it was not quite so handsome. As to rules and sections,
we had no Red Book, and knew nothing about them.
We were out fighting the Boers, not sitting comfortably
behind barb-wire entanglements;
we got them and shot them under Rule 303."
