EXTRACT from Report of Foot Artillery Regiment No. 19, 1st Battalion.
_August 23rd, 1914._
At midday, by order of Major-General Schramm, the Eichler Battery was
moved forward on the road north of Dinant to an advanced position
south-west of Leffe, later on to the Convent Place of Dinant, and from
there bombarded Dinant itself.
_August 24th, 1914._
The reconnaissance showed that the roads in the Meuse Valley of
Dinant-Leffe were impassable on account of the débris of fallen houses,
conflagrations, and the shots fired from the houses by the inhabitants.
