PROVISEUX, _March 2nd, 1915_.
There appeared as witness for examination Non-commissioned Officer
Faber, who, after reference to the significance and sanctity of the
oath, was examined as follows:
As to Person: My name is Kurt Friedrich Faber, non-commissioned
officer, 10th Company, Grenadier Regiment No. 101. I am 22 years old;
Protestant.
As to Case: According to my war-diary, I crossed the Meuse at Dinant
on Sunday, August 23rd, 1914, at 6.5 p.m. in company with Major von
Zeschau and about three detachments of Grenadiers. We were bound for
the ridge of hills lying opposite, as these were said to be occupied by
the enemy. On my way thither I noticed in a side-street that a woman
discharged shots at us from a revolver from a half-opened door. I
thereupon fired at the woman, who quickly banged the door to. I do not
know whether I hit her.
Read over, approved, signed.
Signed: KURT FRIEDRICH FABER.
The witness was thereupon sworn.
Signed: OERTEL, Lieutenant and Officer of the Court.
