Comes as quite a surprise to many to learn that actual eye witness accounts at that time gave full credit to Sergeant Popkin a mere colonial trench digger and it was only later that the “powers that be” decided that there was better publicity if the Red Baron had been shoot down by an Officer and not a mere NCO.
Aaah the distortion of history….
