Of course, I had arranged to send backInformation to my commander, both by codes whichcould be picked up by our observers when they flewover the Austrian lines and by carrier pigeons. By arranging strips of white cloth on the groundin various ways I was able to convey informationto our observers, and every night our aeroplanesdropped carrier pigeons in little cages in the vil-lages behind the enemy lines. I was able to getat least one of these pigeons every day, for I mademy presence known to friends in these villages andthey brought the birds to me.
