About an hour afterwards I received orders to lead the 2nd detachment, Field Artillery Regiment No. 6, on the north side of the road leading to east and west, past the same village to a position to the west of the village. I asked for and received an infantry escort of the Rode Company, Grenadier Regiment No. 10. In carrying out our orders we were here exposed to a continuous fire, despite the fact that no French or Belgian soldiers were to be found in the village. In detail I made the following accurate observations: In several places beds were lying in the gardens, and from behind these beds, which were evidently placed there as a protection, fire was opened upon us. At another place three persons in women's clothes advanced towards us and then disappeared behind a bush. I had time to call out, "Don't shoot; they are women." At the same instant we were fired at from this bush also. At the end of the village two or three cows came into a garden towards us, and at once two shots were fired at us from the direction of the cows. We then saw that, sheltering behind a cow, a man had also approached and fired at us. This man was shot dead by one of our infantrymen. Read over, approved, signed.
