Shot down near Verdun

Note on reverse: "März / April 1916. im Chaume-Wald (Verdun) abgeschossener franz. Flieger" - 'March / April 1916. French plane shot down in the Chaume forest (Verdun)'

 

Judging by the sombre faces of the soldiers, the pilot's body lies somewhere in the smouldering mass of the wrecked plane.

 

The seated soldier in the centre served in the Luftschiffer-Bataillon Nr. 4.
