A Bristol Fighter at an airfield near 'San Quentin' (Saint-Quentin). The crew is given as 'Captain H.P. Sales and Lieutenant W.H. Welsh', but the pilot is almost certainly Horace Percy Lale, an ace credited with 23 aerial victories including four Fokker D.VIIs scored in E2407 with No 20 Sqn in October 1918. A group photo is dated 13 November 2018, just after Armistice Day. The squadron was then based at Elincourt - Iris Farm, 23 km (14 miles) north of Saint-Quentin.
