C. App. 69. REPORT to (Guards) Grenadier Regiment No. 100. In the fight at Dinant, heavy rifle fire was directed upon our troops from several houses on the west bank of the Meuse, especially from a large red Infirmary. These houses were all distinguished as hospitals by the hanging out of flags with the Red Cross, and were, in consequence, at first spared by our troops. Later, however, after the occupation of these houses by hostile, armed inhabitants had been definitely ascertained, and it was recognised that the Red Cross only served as a blind, the houses were brought under fire and destroyed. Witnesses to this are all the officers of the 1st Battalion (Guards) Grenadier Regiment No. 100. Signed: ZEIDLER, Captain and Battalion Leader, (Guards) Grenadier Regiment No. 100. C. App. 70. Present: Military Magistrate, NAUMANN. Secretary of the Military Court, SCHWARZBACH. LA MALMAISON, _December 10th, 1914_.
