LA VILLE-AUX-BOIS, NEAR PONTARVET, _March 6th, 1915_.
By request of the Imperial German Court of Justice of the General
Government in Belgium there appeared by order as witness Corporal of
Reserve Wahl, who, after the importance of the oath had been pointed
out to him, and he had been warned to speak the whole truth, made the
following statement:
As to Person: My name is Hermann Kurt Wahl, 22 years old; Protestant;
Corporal of Reserve, 5th Company, Rifle (Fusilier) Regiment No. 108;
shop assistant at Deuben, near Dresden.
As to Case: On the march to Dinant on August 23rd, I saw lying in
a ditch by the road to the east of the Sorinnes-Dinant road a dead
Jäger. His hands and feet were bound together with wire. The body was
otherwise completely charred. I was only able to recognise that he was
a Jäger by the articles of equipment lying near.
Read over, approved, signed.
Signed: HERMANN KURT WAHL.
The witness was thereupon sworn.
Signed: DACHSEL. Signed: STEIGER.
