S.E.1. TELEPHONES LA.5271 IN REPLY QUOTE RAAF.166/7/278(15A) 70183 FEB 28 1944 Dear Madam, I refer to your letter dated the 13th February, 1944, concerning your son, Flight Sergeant Francis Shamus Cahir, who is a prisoner of war. I desire to inform you that your son’s personal effects will be kept at the Royal Air Force Central Depository for safe custody until he is repatriated from his prisoner of war camp, in accordance with well established practise. This is considered desirable as he may require some of these articles when he is released from his prisoner of war camp ultimately, when his own instructions regarding disposal of them will be followed as far as possible. In the meantime, at his request, it may be possible to forward certain items from the kit to him direct in Germany and as requested in your letter, Mrs. Taylor’s name has been recorded and a cable despatched to Overseas Headquarters, Royal Australian Air Force, London, arranging for her to be appointed as his next-of-kin in the United Kingdom for the despatch of quarterly parcels and other matters. This will not prevent your receiving any further information which may be sent officially concerning your son, but will enable your sister to despatch quarterly clothing parcels to him from the United Kingdom. Yours faithfully, [signature] (M.C. Langslow) [underlined] SECRETARY [/underlined] Mrs. M. Cahir, 505 Bell Street, [underlined] WEST PRESTON. [/underlined] VIC.
