Shortly after, Infantry Regiment No. 177, which was marching behind us, was fired at from the factory which stands close to the bridge. As was ascertained, a passage led from the bridge into the factory, which was, at any rate, made use of by other francs-tireurs in order to withdraw in safety into the factory, from the windows of which they then opened a brisk fire. Signed: NOACK, Lieutenant and Company Leader. C. App. 65. Present: 1st Lieutenant WINKLER, as Officer of the Court. Non-commissioned Officer SCHWERTNER, as Clerk of the Military Court. Near ST. MARIE, _March 7th, 1915_. In the matter for inquiry concerning the firing on a Machine-Gun Company by francs-tireurs at Leffe-Dinant there appeared as witnesses Privates Büchner and Ulbricht of the Machine-Gun Company, Infantry Regiment No. 102, who, after the importance of the oath had been pointed out to them, were examined individually as follows: 1. Private Büchner. As to Person: My name is Heinrich Max Emil Büchner, 22 years old; private in the Machine-Gun Company, Infantry Regiment No. 102. As to Case: On August 23rd, 1914, the Machine-Gun Company, Infantry Regiment No. 102, marched from Houx along the Meuse by Leffe to the military bridge at Dinant. The company arrived in Leffe towards midnight of the 23rd and 24th August 1914. On the left of the line of march was a large factory. From this a brook or canal led into the Meuse. Our route passed over this brook or canal by a bridge. I marched with Ulbricht behind a provision waggon which brought up the rear. When the centre of the company was on the bridge, two shots came from the direction of the bridge towards us. I at once ran with Ulbricht to the bank of the Meuse to see if anybody there had fired. The two shots appeared to have been alarm shots, for immediately after several rifle-shots were fired from the factory. While we were running to the bank of the Meuse, two white figures came out from under the bridge in order to swim to the other bank of the Meuse. I immediately shot with Ulbricht at the two white figures. We reached one whilst still close to the bank, whilst the other was already in the middle of the Meuse. Both figures were hit, for the one who was already in the middle of the river suddenly drifted with the stream, while the other was floated up to our bank. Together with Ulbricht, I let myself down the steep bank with the aid of comrades who had come up, by means of a bearing-girth. We drew the white body from the water, threw back the white cloth, and saw by the face that it was a man. This man was wearing women's green stockings and a pair of black low shoes such as women wear. He had received a shot in the back of the head and was dead. We then went under the bridge; not far from the water stood two chairs. From the bridge, the canal went through a tunnel towards the factory. In
