00:13There was one, sadly, who was the first one killed at the end of the bridge,
00:18Dan, who came and died on the terrace.
00:21And I'm pleased to say that Margaret is here with us today,
00:25mourning her father, and we are in together.

00:44and in one of them came a surgeon and a doctor to attend to the wounded and the dying.
