49Sqn and Boisdinghem
29 Mar 1918 - 30 Mar 1918

Casualties: 1x DH4, 1x killed, 1 x pow 49Sqn moved to Boisdinghem from Les Eauvis but only stayed here for a day.
At this time, although the German offensive was slackening, the RFC was suffering record losses.
It appears likely that Boisdingen was a staging post for 49Sqn's move to the Channel coast at Petite Synthe near Dunkerque.
