At that time Lieut Coste was an N.C.O. in the French Air force. His first encounter with the British ace was in the air amid a 59. shower of "Archie" shrapnel, and 60. each thought he recognised in the other a Hun bent on destruction. The result was an immediate, as- sumption of an offensive by both. Coste's machine, a Spad, was equipped with three machine guns. He dived in attack showering Ball's machine with a hail of bullets. The Britisher replied with a fusillade of lead, and the 10. aerial duel was prolonged as cach

At last Ball, with rapid sweep poured in such heavy, fire that the top wings of the Spad were ripped from the machine, but Coste, at the same moment disabled his ad- versary's 'plane so that both fell earthwards together lancing fortunately, behind the French lines.

It was a dramatic moment when each, uninjured, climbed out of his wrecked machine, and with revol vers drawn made to continue the fight. But there was a mutual re- cognition of uniform, and the two "Fraternisca" as heartily as they had so recently fought. Recom- mendations to the respective offi- cials were made by the "adver- saries" and in due course, for
