They invited us to take his kit over, (as he had nothing) & drop it on their aerodrome. Capt Jones went over with Claude's kit & came down to within 100 ft of their aerodrome & dropped it. They were all out waving to him. We sent letters to Claude, his mail, photos to both he & the Felmy's, & a letter of thanks to them for all their kindness.
Felmy came over to our aerodrome a few days later in his scout. Our "Archies" were blazing into him & shells bustin' all round him. He looped the loop over our aerodrome dropped a large message bag & went off like hell.
