Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary

Lt. [Leonard C.] Hammond dropped his sharpshooter badge to Archie B. [antiaircraft battery] Nothing doing until this evening. We tried out a squadron formation then left to escort some bombers back home. Only met one with 3 Huns, whom we could not get in touch with. Lt. [Hamilton] Coolidge was over with us for the first time. Many of our English bombing friends came over to have dinner. They certainly are a jolly lot and extended an invitation to come see them soon.
