The official report stated that this resulted in the killing of at least 379 people and the injuring of over a thousand more.[2] Some submissions to the official inquiry suggested a higher number of deaths.[3]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reginald_Edward_Harry_Dyer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reginald_Edward_Harry_Dyer It's long after I left school that I found out how the british government treated the welsh and the irish. Never got mentioned in school. All I want is the truth because you can't learn from dishonesty.
