ABSTRACT
Dyer had not yet seen the Hunter Report. He knew only that it had censured him. His command in India had been taken from him; his career was jeopardized, his future threatened. He believed that he had acted rightly, that by his action he had saved the Punjab. At the Hunter Committee hearing he had not been given a fair opportunity to present his case. That could now be remedied. Within a week of his arrival in London, he wrote to the Military Secretary at the India Office, requesting that his action at Amritsar should be considered by the Army Council, and he asked that he should be permitted to present his case personally, attended, if necessary, by a legal adviser.
