Signed: SCHUMANN, Ist Lieutenant and Commander. App. 41. STATEMENT of Lieutenant Deule, Telephone Section, X. Army Corps. On August 22nd I, with my platoon of the Telephone Section, X. Army Corps, was marching from Tongrinne to the Château of Quiltremont _via_ Tamines. Towards 5 p.m. I found myself with my platoon on the street of Vignées at Tamines at the spot where, on the right side of our line of march, a long stretch of the street is skirted by a manufactory. At this point my platoon, which was marching alone, was suddenly assailed by a hot, but badly aimed, fire from the church and from a large building lying off the road to the left, and easily recognised by its Red Cross flags. I at once ordered my platoon to take up a position under cover, and then dispatched flanking patrols on the right and left against the buildings indicated above. In the vicinity of my men we ascertained for certain that a considerable number of armed civilians had retired in hasty flight into a wood behind the buildings, so that it was impossible for us to open an effective fire on those persons. My official duties prevented me from undertaking the pursuit; nevertheless, I had a brief account of these incidents written with chalk on the big gates of a factory in this place to serve as a warning to any detachments of German troops who might follow us. Signed: DEULE, Lieutenant. App. 42. STATEMENT of Acting-Sergeant-Major and Officer-Substitute Mackemehl, 4th Battery, Field Artillery Regiment No. 4. On the afternoon of August 26th we halted with the "heavy baggage" (we had also with us the baggage of Infantry Regiments Nos. 177 and 178 and of Field Artillery Regiment No. 28) at Convin, north of Nocroi. The infantry baggage behind us was fired upon from a house on the right of our line of march. On searching the house, we found that the only inmates were three civilians, who were in possession of weapons and cartridges. Signed: MACKEMEHL. App. 43.
