The witness was sworn.
2. Non-commissioned Officer Kielholz, 2nd Company, Infantry Regiment No. 73.
As to Person: My name is Paul. I am 23 years old; Protestant; bank employé at Husum.
As to Case: On the 7th August 1914 I was one of a field outpost, which was placed about 300 metres west of Louveigné on the road. Suddenly as it began to grow dusk we were fired on from the village, and shots were directed against us from trees and from a rather high-lying cornfield. We skirmished out and lay down in a field of roots, and some of us replied to the fire. We then noticed that a number of people in civilian clothing who had been lying in the cornfield were running away. We were under fire for about half an hour, and at least 100 shots were fired at us.
Read over, approved, signed.
Signed: Kielholz.

As to Person: My name is Friedrich. I am 26 years old; Protestant; hairdresser.
As to Case: On August 5th, 1914, I found myself near the campaign baggage of the company. In the afternoon we reached Esneux, where we halted in the village street. The inhabitants were very friendly to us, and the people came out of the houses and gave us food and cigarettes without taking payment.
