There appeared as witness Acting-Sergeant-Major of Reserve Ernst Wolff, who made the following statement:
As to Person: My name is Ernst. I am 28 years old, of the Jewish faith.
As to Case: I am leader of the campaign baggage of the 2nd Battalion, Infantry Regiment No. 51. At noon on August 22nd, 1914, the campaign baggage under my command advanced through the Belgian village of Tintigny, through which our regiment had already ridden. From the market-place as far as the western exit we were assailed with a hot fire from the windows of a large number of houses. As we could hear from the whistling, our assailants were firing bullets. I noticed people at various windows with the usual Belgian caps on their heads, standing behind smoking rifle-barrels. As I had no effective troops at my disposal I endeavoured to pass through the village rapidly, but I allowed the drivers to dismount quickly for greater protection. From the western exit I brought the cartridge waggons forward to the firing line, while the field-kitchens, in order to keep them under shelter, were compelled once more to pass through the village. In this way they were again exposed to the fire of civilians, and here too a field-kitchen was rendered useless by a bullet through the boiler.
At midday on August 23rd I rode through the village of St. Vincent as dispatch-rider. As I rode past a house which flew a Red Cross flag, I came under a vigorous fire from this house and others lying near it, and here again I was quite convinced the assailants were civilians. My horse received a bullet through its ear as well as a glancing shot. I myself was uninjured.
Read over, approved, signed.
