25 June 1916 Balloon claims
In reading the book Hawker VC it mentions 24 Squadron covering a balloon strafe on 25 June 1916 where 3 observation balloons were shot down. Does anyone know who claimed the balloons. CGAS has 2 Balloon observers KIA this day Ltn.d.R. Eugen Welte of FLA 2 and Vfw Thomas Auchter of an unknown FLA.

RFC Communique number 40 states that seven balloons were destroyed. The four successful pilots that I can identify are Lt J D Latta of No 1 Squadron who claimed two, Lt B J W M Moore, also of No 1 Squadron, 2nd Lt A Ball, of No 11 Squadron and 2nd Lt C W P May of No 2 AD. Graeme |
