hit a balloon barrage over Cul de Court

I hope you get Neuhaus's Fb.
It appears it was not a barrage balloon but a balloon sent by UK in order to bother the Germans, carrying incendiaries, leaflets, etc.
At that moment, several balloons were quoted in Gendarmerie reports. It is said Neuhaus was tasked with shooting at those embarassing balloons. It seems he flew so low that he collided with some trees at Cul-des-Sarts, a forested area, close to Belgian-French border.
I would appreciate very much a copy of that page of the Fb, just for my personal interest/curiosity.
Best regards
