The funeral of Baron von Richthofen turned out to be an impressive ceremony. The fallen enemy was buried in a pleasant little cemetery, not far from the place where he was shot down. A detachment of the Royal Air Force was present at the funeral. The reporter adds: “Even if it is not our task to impose our culture on the rest of the world, we will not cease to show chivalry towards our enemies.”
