I was not aware of the length of Friedrich von Heslers service in Palestine but we have at least the following possibilities for a solution:

a) O´Connor could have a wrong date for the photograph,
B) Friedrich came earlier back from Palestine than October,
B) the man on the photograph is not Friedrich Wilhelm but his brother, the observer Carl Albert (the third brother - Wilhelm Robert - was not a flier). At least it is a really tall guy.

I am waiting since some time for a reply letter of Mr. von Hesler, the son of Carl Albert, because he wrote that his uncle von Haebler was killed by the handgranade of a British soldier after forced landing.

I guess I will now write a letter with "Happy New Year" and ask him again and additional about the time of this photo.
