"Were you free to make any complaints to him if you wished?"
"Two of the fellows did; but they got punished for it.
"Before he visited the lager a notice was put up that the Commandant did not consider there was any reason for complaint, and any man making a complaint would be given 14 days' imprisonment.
"When he called we were drawn up on parade in four companies, and stood to attention, while he passed down the line, asking if there were any complaints.
"By his side was the Commandant and another German officer."
The Story of Private —— of the Norfolk Regiment
"I came out with the original Expeditionary Force, and was in the retreat from Mons, but was not captured until October, 1914.
"The German soldiers who captured me treated me quite well. They gave me some of their rations, and allowed me to attend to our wounded.
"I had just bandaged up the leg of a man in the Cheshire Regiment, who had half his foot blown off, when all the prisoners were ordered to the rear.
"A German officer came up and ordered us both to get back; but I pointed out that the Cheshire man was too badly wounded to be moved without help. He ordered me to undo the bandage, and when he saw the condition of the wound, he drew his revolver and shot him dead. He then ordered me to get back.
