ORAINVILLE, _March 17th, 1915_.
On summons there appeared as witness Lieutenant of Reserve Martin, who,
being instructed as to the significance of the oath, made the following
statement:
As to Person: My name is Kurt Martin. I am 24 years old; Protestant;
Lieutenant of Reserve, 2nd Company, Infantry Regiment No. 103.
As to Case: I have seen how a German soldier was wounded by small shot,
and know that he died of the effect of the injury in the castle before
Leffe. The doctor who treated him was Dr. Schneider, now in Infantry
Regiment No. 102.
The inhabitants of Leffe arrested in a house near the factory were well
treated. After their provisions were exhausted, they were provided
for from the field kitchen of the 5th Company, Infantry Regiment No.
103. They were later on released by a general order. At one time I was
detailed as guard of the hospital which was located in the Château de
Chession, near Leffe. The proprietress, a Madame Chiehe, and her people
we also provided with food; she expressed her warm appreciation of the
kind treatment.
Read over, approved.
The witness was duly sworn.
Signed: KLEBERGER, Lieutenant of Reserve and Officer of the Court.
