(128) 21st October 1917 Frank Watched a Air Duel






Frank watched a duel in the air.
Quote from diary

21st Sunday

Left Labourse at 1pm Horse Amb, which took us to Philosophe, and from there we marched to Fort Glatz Loos, in the course of which we watched a duel in the air by one of Fritz’s latest machines, and a one seater of ours, the latter bringing the Bosch to the ground smashing the plane entirely and killing Pilot and Observer, the corpses being taken to our Station at Philosophe. From there we went to Solent Post, near Slag Heap.
