Sgt, Horce Cumberback
RFC, 46 Sgn,
Bruay, France
4 Aug 1917.

Hq wanted a do over since the Sqn didn't knock down the Boche Balloon. Took 4 Pups of B Flight and Hopped on over.


My chaps got the Balloon but it attracted trouble

My #4 attacked the boche flight of 4 Albatros Veee strutters I dove to help

I was still to far away to help as the Hun Scout shot down my wingmate

A new guy named Cyril Wentworth He always did seem a bit " Too Keen"

As I leveled out of the dive, the Hun Scout was low and slow

I poured on the fire from my Vickers making hits un till it jammed


Imagine my surprize as the Hun Scouts wing came off

Corkscrewing up I spotted my Wingman ( the #2 a/c) having sport with another Hun Scout
