Sun. July 8 -

Half holiday in p.m. In evening a German aeroplane flew down close over one of our observations balloons which was near the ground. The aeroplane flew so close to the ground that one could easily distinguish the crosses on its planes. Our anti aircraft opened on it and there was quite a noise of bursting shells around here but none of them hit it and it got away.
