An interesting photograph, did anyone else notice the faces of the soldiers looking through the brush?

Hello,

I have just had a look at my records for the kills made by Von Richthofen for October 1916 and I only have a record of 4 aircraft downed for that month:
Victory No.4 7th October.....BE12.
Victory...10th October...Unconfirmed..FE2B
Victory No.5 16th October......BE12
Victory No.7 25th October......BE12

Do we know where the Nieuport was found? the above aircraft came down over EquanCourt,Arras.Ytres and Bapaume.



Regards

Stug50
