Further, as I was riding along through the village, one of the inhabitants called me to him, but I rode on at a gallop, and was fired at from behind.

Report of Field Artillery Regiment No. 21 (12th Field Artillery Brigade).
Nauroy, October 15th, 1914.
Captain Blumenthal, Commander of the Light Munitions Column (2nd Division), reports:
On August 24th, during the advance, the column halted at Jamoigne for a considerable time, to water the horses. A number of the inhabitants who still remained in the village were standing in front of the doors and behaved in a friendly manner. Water, coffee, and tobacco were offered to some of the officers and men. While the watering of the horses was going on, two shots came from a house in front of which a short time previously an elderly man and a woman had been sitting. The shots were apparently fired at the two officers who were standing close to the house, Lieutenants Kloass and Luozny. These two shots gave the signal for a general fusillade from the skylights and windows of the houses. While the pioneers, who had been attached on the march for escort, forced their way into the houses, the column was pushed forward in order to make room in the village, which had been at once set on fire, for the other column marching behind it. One man of the column and two horses were wounded.
