EXTRACT from the Report of Operations, Infantry Regiment No. 103.
_August 23rd, 1914._
At 4.30 in the afternoon the regiment received the order from the
32nd Infantry Brigade to move off to Leffe. The regiment halted in
the ravine east of Leffe behind the pontoon column of the division.
As the firing from the slopes of the ravine down into the valley was
continuous, the 9th Company received the order to clear the southern
slopes. One man of the regiment was severely wounded by a shot fired
from a house by an inhabitant; the house was set on fire; the men, who
were inside with weapons in their hands were shot; in other ways, too,
the place was cleared of francs-tireurs.
