Excellent group picture. Do you know who are the other chaps?

This photo was taken at Artillerie-flieger abteilung 203airfield, (near jametz)

Boelke was invited by the CO (hptm JOGD) of that unit to provide them with fighter protection during a reconnaissance mission-this photo may be taken between 12==> 18 june 1916 (according to Boelke 's correspondance)

CO hptm JOGD is third from the right front row,and oblt Stefan Kirmaier is second from right front row
