The German Fury in Belgium: Experiences of a Netherland Journalist during four months with the German Army in Belgium
Mokveld, L. (Lambertus)
Belgium -- History -- German occupation, 1914-1918; World War, 1914-1918 -- Atrocities
Capitaine Philippe Millet, already known as the author of "Jenny s'en
va-t-elle en guerre," has written a number of stories illustrating life
in France to-day. Most of the stories vividly picture the actual life
in the trenches and the barrack room, and show in simple and direct
fashion the common bond that is being forged between the soldiers of
our country and those of France. These stories are a revelation of the
English Tommy as seen through the eyes of a French officer, and the
delightful vein of humour running all through will hold the reader
spellbound to the end. It is doubtful whether from any other source it
is possible to obtain such a series of realistic impressions of the
English soldier as seen by one of our Allies in actual warfare.

"At last I appealed to his heart by relating all the Netherlanders
had done for +the Belgians. This had the desired effect, and I was
allowed to drive home with him.
At every inn he felt thirsty, and made me feel quite clearly that I
had every reason to treat him.+ And every time that we went back to
our seats he said again:"
