DEPOSITION of Reservist Hermann Behnke, 11th Company, Reserve Infantry Regiment No. 86, received by Pastor Friedrichs in the reserve field hospital at Hagen, on September 21st, 1914. On August 25th we arrived at Louvain station in a military transport train. We heard brisk firing, so that we assumed that a battle between our troops and the Belgian troops was taking place. However, when we arrived in the town, we saw that civilians were firing from the houses and from trees. We noticed that German troops were fighting a regular street battle with these civilians. We went to the assistance of our troops. The civilians were requested to leave the houses from which firing had taken place. These houses were then set on fire. Proceedings at Hagen in the Office of the reserve field hospital, Hochstrasse 45, on November 28th, 1914, placed at the disposal of the Royal War Ministry, Military Examination Office for infringement of military law.

Admonished to speak the truth, I make the following statement: I maintain as correct the deposition made on September 21st before the Protestant minister, Wilhelm Friedrichs.
