Also HP O/100, 3139 of No. 216 Sqn. (IF), Saarbrucken, forced to land near Luneville, three crew POW. (info from 'TSTB II' by Trevor Henshaw, pages 190-191).

Hi
Appears to be FE.2b, 6356 (the '35' is visible on tail fin), of No. 20 Sqn. It was on escort for recce patrol, it is reported that it shot down a 'LVG' but suffered a gun jam and brought down during heavy combat by 'Fokker'. Both crew were wounded (observer 4 times) and became POW. Forced to land near Ligny (steam was seen to be coming out of it). From 'TSTB II' page 34.
