Lots of fine stories Gents. Raine, good to see you back in the saddle! We had some rough tornadoes come through here last night. All is well with me and mine but things to do so this report will be short.
Lnt. Gunther Ganz Jasta 6, Wassigny April 13, 1917 17 victories.
All patrols went well the last few days. This afternoon Ganz led 4 machines to send down a balloon. Ganz dispatched the balloon and the 4 climbed out home. Over the mud, 3 machines came down on them that were headed west. It was the Bristol fighter Ganz had heard about. He damaged one and it spun out of control but pulled up near the ground and Ganz dove again. Just as he fired he was hit. “Bastards got me again!” He swore. He sat his machine down on a road just behind his trenches. He was taken back to Cataeu and was met by the same doctor who treated him for his head wound, the bandage still on his head. He will be out 15 days.
Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from either end. BOC Member since....I can't remember!
