Event Narrative
Combat Report: 1940 hrs, between Billy-Montighny and Sallaumines, this side of lines. No details concerning enemy plane as it was burnt. Soon after having shot down a BE near Rouex, we were attacked by a strong enemy one-seater force of Nieuports, Spads and Triplanes. The plane I had singled out caught fire after a short time, burned in the air and fell north of Henin Liétard.

Richthofen suits up pre-flight at Roucourt, presumably next to Le Petit Rouge. Photographs reveal Albatroses occasionally had their serial numbers chalked onto the ailerons, and thisd appears to have been done with this machine. Tantalizingly, the serial number is illegible.
