French air-ship "Alsace"

Is anyone able to name the crew of "Alsace" which was downed on Oct 3, 1915, inside the German lines?

Was "Alsace" shot down (as German sources report) or forced to land by other reasons?

The only mention I cold find of French Airships brought down by the Germans were the losses of the Adjutant Vincenot put out of action on June 1, 1916 and the Astra Pilatre de Rozier shot down in flames over Alsace on Feb. 25, 1917.

My source indicates there were others, but does not name them.

Hi Mosen

Alsace was brought by German BAK(later called Flak) late in the evening of 2 October 1915.

Unfortunate I dont have the names of the French crew but one was killed....

The airship was lost at Rethel. Lt. Cohen was KIA, the rest of the crew (names not known) were taken POW. Source: Ah heck, you must know by now!! R.
