_August 22nd, 1914._--During the advance through Ansart the troops, among them the 3rd Battalion of Foot Artillery Regiment No. 6, were fired at by the inhabitants from the houses. The village was by order set on fire. The same thing occurred at Tintigny; the village was already in flames, but in spite of this the population fired from the burning houses upon the troops passing through. _August 23rd, 1914._--Near St. Vincent the observation post of the 8th Battery was fired upon by the inhabitants from the woods at the back. These persons had withdrawn to the woods, because their village was burnt down. _August 24th, 1914._--During our march through Jamoigne the battalion and the Light Munitions Column too were fired upon from the houses. Fire was also opened from the schoolhouse, which flew the Red Cross flag. The village was partially set on fire. On August 25th, 1914, the 6th Battery, which was following the battalion in the evening alone, was fired on from the rear at Villers devant Orval, close to the French frontier, although the population had in the daytime behaved themselves in quite a friendly manner. The houses from which the shots had come were, by our leader's orders, set on fire. Signed: WALTER. App. 20. MILITARY COURT EXAMINATION of Acting-Sergeant-Major of Reserve Ernst Wolff, Infantry Regiment No. 51. LA MARC-AUX-BOERST, _September 23rd, 1914_. There appeared as witness Acting-Sergeant-Major of Reserve Ernst Wolff, who made the following statement: As to Person: My name is Ernst. I am 28 years old, of the Jewish faith. As to Case: I am leader of the campaign baggage of the 2nd Battalion, Infantry Regiment No. 51. At noon on August 22nd, 1914, the campaign baggage under my command advanced through the Belgian village of Tintigny, through which our regiment had already ridden. From the market-place as far as the western exit we were assailed with a hot fire from the windows of a large number of houses. As we could hear from the whistling, our assailants were firing bullets. I noticed people at various windows with the usual Belgian caps on their heads, standing behind smoking rifle-barrels. As I had no effective troops at my disposal I endeavoured to pass through the village rapidly, but I allowed the drivers to dismount quickly for greater protection. From the western exit I brought the cartridge waggons forward to the firing line, while the field-kitchens, in order to keep them under shelter, were compelled once more to pass through the village. In this way they were again exposed to the fire of civilians, and here too a field-kitchen was rendered useless by a bullet through the boiler.
