Note 79 — XII. THE DEATH OF DIXMUDE

According to the Nieuws van den Dag, 4,000 wounded were sent to Liège the next day. Another Dutch journal, the Telegraaf, says that out of 3,000 men engaged in the attack on the southern sector of the defence "only a hundred men were left after the fall of the town." All estimates are clearly uncertain in such confused affairs, and so we have taken our figures preferably from the neutral press, in which we may look for a certain amount of impartiality.
