EXTRACT from Report of Field Artillery Regiment No. 48.
As our infantry in Dinant, from the houses of which there was heavy
firing, were also still being fired on by the fort, the 3rd Battery
received the order to bombard the fort from a more advanced position.
In Leffe also, our infantry made no headway; the 5th Battery therefore
received the order at 4 o'clock in the afternoon to bombard and set on
fire the farm Roud Chêne and the neighbourhood of Leffe. Dinant was
evacuated by our infantry from 3 o'clock in the afternoon onwards, and
from 5 o'clock onwards was bombarded by our Foot Artillery.
