221905 2nd Lt. Gerald James Mortimer 35 Squadron My father Gerald Mortimer was an Observer in France from 1st to 25th of March 1918 when he was shot down early morning near Bapaume having taken off from Poulainville.
I have been to Poulainville and seen the original Airfield and have the intention of taking my 2 sons to see the other March 1918 airfields at Chippily and Estree-en-Chausee.
I will send a short report of my visit if anyone is interested. I have some info on 35 Squadron of that era and am still collecting more.

210829 2nd Lt. Gerald James Mortimer 35 Squadron My father, Gerald Mortimer, volunteered firstly for the Army and following training on Salisbury Plain put his hand up to go "Flying". He was shot down on 23rd March 1918 as an Observer in FE of 35 Squadron, he and the pilot crawled to a farmhouse (my father was wounded in the thigh) where a local lady gave them coffee, best smell of coffee my father always said! He was evacuated to military hospital in Rouen and then by steamship to Dover. I have his medical records but no log book; many of them were burnt by HMG in the 60's I gather. I would like to know if there is any more history of the RFC this day in 1918 and from which airstrip my father flew from; was it Chipilly?
