LOUVAIN, _September 18th, 1914_.
Non-commissioned Officer Engemann, Landsturm Battalion Neuss, made the
following statement:
As to Person: My name is Hugo Engemann, born at Barmen on June 13th,
1876; Catholic.
As to Case: I am a non-commissioned officer of the 1st Company,
Landsturm Battalion Neuss, and on August 25th I was on duty at
signal-box 2. The guard is posted at some 800 metres' distance from
the station at Louvain. I sat in front of the guard-house and noticed
in the twilight, immediately after 8 o'clock, a red rocket in the
sky. In my opinion it rose above the main railway station at Louvain.
Immediately afterwards I heard loud firing from the town.
