Dostler fallen

"After so many friendly events, the squadron was dealt a hard blow on 21 August: First Lieutenant Dostler did not return from a fighter flight. It is hard to say what valour and fighting spirit was associated with this name. The cavalry captain is devastated by this loss. He sends out chains to look for him. Nothing is found. He must be lying somewhere between the lines in no man's land. Finally the following message arrives; "According to a telephone message from the commander of Flieger 4, the British Royal Flying Corps has informed us that no further details of Lieutenant Dostler's fate can be given. It is only known that on 21 August 1917 at 11 o'clock English time (12 o'clock German time) a German aeroplane was brought down by an English pilot in the Frezenberg area and was probably in the foremost German ranks. According to the above information, the time and place coincide with the air battle of First Lieutenant Dostler at that time. The following night and the next morning there was heavy English barrage over this launch site."
