can have a hot bath. The temperature of the water was
regulated by the bath superintendent. The money was collected
by an N.C.O. not only did one get a bath but also a walk
and change of scene. It was on the way to the town near
the station perhaps 3/4 mile away.
I was in this camp from Aug 1915 to Dec 14th 1916. And during
that time had two commandants. The first was a wounded
Col: , col: von Stutenheim. He had been at the front. I
think he would have been alright but he was clearly sent
again on active service. He was fond of talking on appel.
He started with a long speech & asked us all to salute the
dead of all nations. He was succeded by an ancient warrior
of the 70 war with a breast of medals of that period. He had
an enormous corporation & white side whiskers . He trembled
like a jelly fish when he was angery. He wore for ...
a mixture of mufti & uniform, the mufti predominating.
At times it was only a field service cap. He was a merchant
by trade & I think on the whole was a bad man - But
his usual policy was "laisez faire".
All the time I was there, then was a Feld lieutenant
named Caiper . I have seldom seen a man det
eriateeriorate iseriatemorethan he did during the 18 months I was there. Originally
he was a more or less alert soldier. He was engaged to the
daughter of the Cau.... Lady. However he had many Lady
loves. Drink also he was fond of. At the time I came away.
It was a practical certainty if he took appel that he
would met have noticed if 20 officers had been deficient.
We had a selection of lieutenants but these did not begin
to come till the spring of 1916.
