G.S.O.2  R.F.C.

Following work done:-

1. Carmichael & Powell. 

2 observations  of artillery fire – very successful – 1 partially so.  Report enclosed signed by Powell.

• Borton & Wilson.

 2 observations artillery fire, 1 successful, 1 not, report enclosed signed by Borton.  I sent Borton and observer to see battery and make things O.K.  It would appear the battery could not see the light.

• Freeman (wireless) 

Did a gun reconnaissance successfully, no avro being available and H.F. useless in high wind.

• Strange and Small. 

2 tactical reconnaissances, special for IIIrd Army Corps.  In the first they discovered an AVIATIK, engaged him and fired 92 rounds just over our aerodrome.  the pilot manoeuvred his craft in a masterly style and forced the enemy to land in our lines.  Both pilot and passenger were captured.  Their machine is not in my hangars. 

This was a most determined onslaught, the observer being slightly wounded in the 3 fingers of the right hand.
