The military correspondent of The Tomes wrote that it will later be necessary to explain how a position as strongly fortified as Namur could fall after two lays, just like an open town.
Under these conditions, the Belgian Guverument believed it useful to
issue certain precise details concerning the military facts that happened from August 23rd to 25th around the fortified position of Namur. This will allow the rectifica tion of rumours that might be circulated abroad concerning the valiant garrison of
this town.
According to the information that reached the War Ministry, confirmed by the report of Lieutenant-General Michiel, Burnunder of the ith Division, the forti fed position of Namur was submittal to a systematic bombardment during three days and two nights. An extraordinary number of projectiles were thrown not only on the forts, but on the intervals between.
