La Ville-aux-Bois, March 7th, 1914.
By order there appeared as witness Rifleman Willkommen, who, after the importance of the oath had been pointed out to him, and he had been warned to speak the truth, made the following statement:
As to Person: My name is Paul Robert Willkommen, rifleman, 7th Company, Rifle (Fusilier) Regiment No. 108; 22 years old; Protestant.
As to Case: On the afternoon of August 23rd, I found a completely charred body quite close to an estate near Dinant, where we had set up a dressing-station. On closer inspection it proved to be a Saxon Jäger whose hands and feet had been tied up. He lay in the ditch close to the road. We covered him with straw. That he was a Saxon Jäger I recognised with certainty from his buttons and other articles of equipment.
