19 Oct 1916.

Arrived back last night from the Hospital/ 3 day pass. The C.O. said Have a go on the morning Escort. Our 5 a/c were weaving in and out of the clouds with a DH-4 800 meters below us when Two 2 Seat recon types popped up. Same Height as us so swung wide and fired. I saw a lot of smoke then they disappeared in the cloud base below us.
then stayed with the Flight. One spad was lost over the target area reasons unknown.
