Dear Mrs Coling, Very many thanks for your letter just received. May I take this opportunity of offering you my heartiest congratulations upon the safety of your son, Sgt. E.F. Coling. As a matter of fact, your letter arrived shortly after I had received communication from Air Ministry, informing me that all the crew with the exception of Sgt. B. Ridsdale were prisoners of war. As it is our intention to send all the prisoners of war who formerly belonged to this Squadron a parcel of comforts from time to time, I would be glad if you could forward on his P.O.W. address as soon as you are informed of the same. Thank you for your good wishes. Yours sincerely, WR. Francis Flight Lieutenant, for Wing Commander, Commanding, [underlined] No. 50 Squadron, …….. R.A.F. [/underlined] Mrs. W. Coling, 3, Croft Avenue, Altofts, Normanton, [underlined] Yorks.
