store Broken open again, boys after champagne one man captured after being fired on by officers who heard the noise, one of my section who got 14 days F.P. no 1 & loss of 14 days pay & did not get a drink out of it some others of my company were in it also & came back looking scared as it was a wonder some of them weren't killed, as it was dark 10-30 at night when it happened & the officers were firing at running figures they did not know who it was, it caused quite a stir hearing firing at night
