You should've seen me in my leather helmet and googles, with a scarf around my neck and wearing a long leather coat. I wonder what I'm doing here 91 years later!

Beeing A veteran of the Aircorps you know pretty much about von Richthofen I must admit. It´s always a pleasure to meet someone who was actually there and therefore can judge the flying abillities of the opponent.

I've never understood why the fuss about th so-called Red baron. He was a good pilot but not an outstanding one, cause he always went after the two-seaters, the crippled or the rookies, from there his record came. The first time he met a good flyer, a Canadian by the way, he was on the run and the Aussies caught him from the ground.

My great-uncle LLOYD HUGHES was wounded in the March 1st mass trench raid that started at 5:15 AM. Their objective was to reconnoiter and test the German defenses of Hill 145. A total of 83 were killed and 132 wounded in the 54th Canadian Infantry Battalion of which he was a member. The Germans allowed unimpeded movement up to their line and also helped facilitated recovery of both dead and wounded Canadian soldiers. Lloyd subsequently succumbed to his wounds 5 days later on March 6th 1917.
