Talk:Hugh Montgomery (British Army soldier)

Reaction to punishment
Did they "burst into tears" or did they laugh at the leniency of the punishment? Sources differ on this point. Drutt (talk) 01:03, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I've never seen any sources that said they laughed. John Adams claimed that they burst into tears; then again, he was their lawyer. - PM800 (talk) 01:14, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

This suggests that the soldiers made light of the punishment: "A small price to pay for our lives." Drutt (talk) 02:14, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
