Grand Fighting

We saw some grand fighting between our aeroplanes and theirs. You could

see them circle round each other like a couple of fighting cocks--and

then one would come down. One aeroplane was brought down with our guns.

We had had several pot-shots at it, but they did not take effect. The

first shot from one of our aerial guns brought it down, a mass of

blazing wreckage. We were told afterwards that the airman got away and

was unhurt: _Pte. J. Doolan, Northumberland Fusiliers_.
