Proceedings at RESERVE FIELD HOSPITAL AT CLEVE,
_October 9th, 1914_.
Royal Court of Justice.
Present:
Judge, FRITZEN.
Secretary, FRINGS.
There appears the under-mentioned witness, and, after having been
acquainted with the object of the examination, he was examined as
follows:
As to Person: My name is Adam Hoos, aged 32; Catholic; soldier, 2nd
Company, Landwehr Regiment No. 55, at Wesel, at present in reserve
field hospital at Cleve.
As to Case: On August 25th we entered Louvain and took part in the
street-fighting. On the morning of August 26th, when searching the
houses for wounded, we found in the cellar of a house a soldier of our
regiment whose name I do not know, whose body had been cut open so that
the entrails protruded. We did not ascertain whether the dead man was
otherwise wounded. In my opinion, the cut could have only been effected
with a sharp knife.
Read over, approved, signed.
Signed: ADAM HOOS.
