20 April 1918
NE of Villers-Bretonneux
Villers-Bretonneux

“Combat Report: 1843 hrs, north-east of Villers-Bretonneux. Sopwith Camel, burned; Englishman. Three minutes after I had brought down the first machine, I attacked a second Camel of the same enemy squadron. The adversary dived, caught his machine and repeated this manoeuvre several times. I approached him as near as possible when fighting and fired 50 bullets until the machine began to burn. The body of the machine was burned in the air, the remnants dashed to the ground, north-east of Villers-Bretonneux.”
