(50) Private G. R----, Bedfords:--Somewhere between October 14th and 17th, at a village about fifteen miles from Ypres, a boy was brought in from a farm-house, the people having sent in for surgical assistance for a boy who was wounded. I saw him brought in by some of our men to an estaminet--he had five sabre-cuts. His sister told us that the Uhlans had chased him round the farm because he had cried out something to them. He looked as if he would not live. One of our R.A.M.C. bound up his wounds. (51) Private W. D----, Hampshires:--About seven weeks ago, when the Germans tried hard to break through, we were about two hours from a place which we call the Château, where the Germans pitched shells every day, especially at a big tower place which is there. Our platoons were in the trenches in the order left to right of 5, 6, 7, 8, and then came C Company in their trenches. The wounded left with the dead in the C trench were half buried by its having been blown in. The Germans enfiladed the wounded, shot them, bayoneted them, jumped on them. (52) Private B----, Royal West Kents:--Early in September, in the advance from Coulommiers, I saw two British cavalrymen lying dead on the ground, their arms stretched out like a cross and their hands pinned by Uhlan lances. (53) Private J. C----, Scots Guards:--Last Monday night, the other side the canal bank at a place I think they call “Karuchi,” the Manchesters were surrounded. We were in support and advanced to their help.... We re-took the trenches. In the second trench, when we got there, we found many Manchesters who had been shot first and then bayoneted, as they lay wounded, by the Germans when capturing the trench. (54) Private P----, Cornwalls:--In the early part of September in our advance, in all the villages the Germans had smashed everything for mere sport--the place stank with the dead bodies of pigs and chickens which they had killed and left in the road. We found scent-bottles thrown all over the road--mirrors smashed and furniture--lovely furniture--thrown into the street, and pictures cut. (55) Private W. T----, Welsh Regiment:--On the retreat from Mons in August we came upon a woman tied to a tree. She was quite dead. Her throat was cut. I believe she had been outraged.... The time was about 5 p.m. It was quite light. I should say the woman’s age was between eighteen and twenty-two. The men cut her down. I saw them do it. I do not know what became of the body as we had to go on. I expect it was Uhlans who had done this. (56) Corps Expéditionnaire anglais, 5ᵉ Division d’Infanterie, 7ᵉ Groupe de Gendarmerie.
