As Hannes says, a staffel of JG1 must be prime candidate. The JG was based on three airfields just to the West of Courtrai at the time (Marcke, Marckebecke and Bisseghem), in readiness for the British Flanders offensive that started a couple of weeks later. They were flying a mix of Albatros D.V's, and Pfalz D.III.
