HC Deb 11 July 1916 vol 84 c184
12. Major NEWMAN

asked the Secretary for War whether a sentry on guard was shot at and severely wounded by a sniper from an adjoining building in one of the main streets of Dublin on the 4th instant; and can he say to what extent the practice of sniping at the military is still prevalent in Dublin?

Mr. FORSTER

A sentry was wounded on 4th July in Fleet Street, Dublin, and the shot is supposed to have been fired from an adjoining house. This is the only such case known since the outbreak was quelled.
