I am sure it will only be necessary for me to state to your Excellency some examples:—Mr. Freegrove Winzer, a British subject, whose domicile is at Paris, is the brother of Baroness Goetz von Seckendorff, whose husband was an officer in the Dragoon Regiment No. 2, and was killed in action at Cambrai last August. Mr. Freegrove Winzer worked at the time in the French end Belgian Red Cross. He received a passport from the German military authorities at Namur which placed him in the position to cross the German frontier and to go up to Cologne, and this passport contained the request to the military physician-in-chief at Cologne, at whose disposal he was placed, to give him permission for a four days trip to Brunswick to visit his sister and then to return to Cologne. However, Baroness Seckendorff came to Cologne and requested permission to leave Germany. Mr. Freegrove Winzer received his original passport back with the confirmation by the military authorities that no reason notated to deny him permission for crossing the frontier to Basle. On his arrival at Leopoldshoe on the Swiss frontier, permission was refused him to continue on his trip, and he was detained in the ambulance station at Freiburg up to the 8th November, 1914.This case was already submitted by me to the Imperial Foreign Office in the note verbale of the 6th January, 1915, and I am of the opinion that under the circumstances, inasmuch as Mr. Freegrove Winzer obtained his passport in Namur, as approved member of the Red Cross, in order to visit his sister, the wife of a German officer killed in action, Mr. Freegrove should obtain his liberty and permission to leave Germany in accordance with, the assurance given him at the time by the military authorities. |
