“The feelings that moved the English can be seen from the report that arrived from Holland during these days of mourning.

The English Reuter news reads verbatim:

‘Reuter’s special assistant in the British Army reports that the German aviator Rittmeister v. Richthofen has met his death in an air battle at the front. The body will be buried with military honours. It is to be expected that this ceremony will be very impressive and worthy of the remarkable record of this aviator.”
