REPORT to (Guards) Grenadier Regiment No. 100.
In the fight at Dinant, heavy rifle fire was directed upon our
troops from several houses on the west bank of the Meuse, especially
from a large red Infirmary. These houses were all distinguished as
hospitals by the hanging out of flags with the Red Cross, and were,
in consequence, at first spared by our troops. Later, however, after
the occupation of these houses by hostile, armed inhabitants had been
definitely ascertained, and it was recognised that the Red Cross only
served as a blind, the houses were brought under fire and destroyed.
Witnesses to this are all the officers of the 1st Battalion (Guards)
Grenadier Regiment No. 100.
