the flap of the cartridge pouch and the bayonet near the hilt. It is also stencilled on the tunic lining and inside the cap).

The German soldier usually carries all his papers in the skirt pocket at the back of his tunic. Prisoners should be searched as soon as possible after they are captured to prevent them destroying documents in their possession.

All letters, papers, diaries, pay-books, maps, sketches, messages, operation orders, etc., should be forwarded at once to Divisional Headquarters, with a statement as to date and place obtained, and whether from prisoners or dead (an estimate of date of death is useful if it can be accurately gauged).

The fuzes of exploded German shells furnish information required by the artillery. They should be sent at once to the nearest artillery unit with a statement as to where they were found.
