Rifle (Fusilier) Regiment No. 108, Officer of the Court I.
LA VILLE-AUX-BOIS, _January 20th, 1915_.
There appeared Assistant Surgeon of Reserve, Dr. Sorge, 1st Battalion,
Rifle (Fusilier) Regiment No. 108, who, being warned to speak the
truth, made the following statement:
As to Person: My name is Kurt Hermann Georg Sorge. I am 27 years old;
Protestant; 1st Assistant Surgeon of the Ear Department of the town
Infirmary of Friedrichstadt, Dresden.
As to Case: During the fighting of the 1st Battalion, Rifle
Regiment No. 108, near and in Dinant, I was always in the immediate
neighbourhood of the troops engaged. I have repeatedly bandaged
riflemen whose injuries were to be ascribed to non-military rifles
(shot-wounds).
Women, children, and old men were always spared. The burial of the
inhabitants who had been shot, as far as my sphere of work extended,
never took place on the same day. I have, moreover, repeatedly seen
that bread and drink were handed to various inhabitants by the riflemen.
Read over, approved, signed.
Signed: Dr. K. SORGE, Assistant Surgeon of Reserve, 1st Battalion,
Rifle (Fusilier) Regiment No. 108.
The witness was thereupon sworn.
Signed: GLASER, Lieutenant of Reserve, Adjutant, 1st Battalion,
Rifle (Fusilier) Regiment No. 108, as Officer of the Military Court.
