App. 57.
Statement and Military Court Examination of Dragoon Funke, 2nd Hanoverian Dragoon Regiment No. 16.
Caisnes, November 7th, 1914.
Dragoon Funke states: At Herve men of the Magdeburg Field Artillery Regiment, which was marching through the place, drew my attention to the fact that a dead hussar was lying near a straw stack. I went towards the body and saw that the ears and nose of the hussar had been cut off, and also that the whole of his face had been mangled.
Signed: Heinichen, Lieutenant.
