Madam, I am directed to refer to your letter of 26th September, 1945, and to inform you, with regret, that no further news has been received of your husband, Sergeant R. H. G. Ellis. It is regretted that the date of your husband’s burial is not yet known. The registration of the graves of those known to have lost their lives in enemy territory is carried out by the Graves Registration and Enquiry Service of the War Office but, unhappily, the magnitude of this task is such that a considerable time must elapse before all areas are covered and all investigations completed. I am to assure you, however, that when details are received you will be notified immediately. Your change of address has been noted in the Department’s records. I am, Madam, Your obedient Servant, [signature] for Director of Personal Services. Mrs. D. C. H. Ellis, 13, Cheniston Gardens, W.8.

Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document [Royal crest] [National scheme for disabled men crest] IMPERIAL WAR GRAVES COMMISSION, WOOBURN HOUSE, WOOBURN GREEN, HIGH WYCOMBE, BUCKS. Tel: Bourne End 594. 18 SEP 1951 Dear Sir or Madam, I venture to ask for your assistance in completing the attached form. The Imperial War Graves Commission have been entrusted, for this was as with he last, with he duty of per-manently commemorating those members of His Majesty’s Naval, Military and Air Forces from all parts of the British Empire who die in the service of the Allied cause. The Commission will consequently be responsi-ble for marking and caring for the graves, or, in the case of those who have no known grave, for making pro-vision for other suitable form of commemoration and also for recording all names in permanent Registers. This work will be carried out at the cost of the Commission, whose funds are provided by all the Govern-ments of the Empire. A headstone of the same simple pattern will, as before, mark each grave; thus every man, rich or poor, Gen-eral or Private, will be honoured in the same way. In order to carry out these duties, and to complete the permanent Registers, the Commission desire certain additional information which they hope you will be so good as to supply on the attached form, which should then be returned to the Commission. You will notice that a space has been left on the form for a personal inscription to be selected by the rela-tives, if they so desire, for engraving on the headstone. Where, owing to the course of military operations, it has so far been impossible to find or identify a grave, no personal inscription should be inserted on the form. Should the grave eventually be discovered I shall, of course, write to you again and you will then have a fur-ther opportunity to choose an inscription. Some relatives have expressed the wish topsy for this personal inscription, and an opportunity will be given to them later on of meeting the cost. Should they not wish to do so, the cost will be borne by the Commis-sion. Owing to increase in the cost of engraving Personal Inscriptions since the attached form was printed, the amount which may be paid by relatives has been raised from 7s. 6d. to £1. Yours faithfully, F. HIGGINSON, [italics] Secretary. [/italics] Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document AIR MINISTRY (Casualty Branch), 73-77, OXFORD STREET,W.1. 27th April, 1944. P.408122/7/P.4.A.3. Madam, I am directed to refer to your letter of 13th April, 1944, and to inform you with regret that no further news has been received concerning your husband since the Departments letter of 31st January, 1944. As there were, unhappily, no survivors among the crew of the Stirling aircraft in which your husband was air gunner, the circumstances under which the aircraft was lost are not known. It is also anticipated that, as the first report from the International Red Cross Committee failed to include the date on which your husband was buried at Eindhoven-Woensel, there may be considerable delay before this information is received, but enquiries are continuing and should any news be received, you will be informed immediately. Your husbands name, together with the names of his crew, has been included in Casualty Communique No. 384 and will appear in the ‘Times’ in approximately two weeks time. I am again to express the profound sympathy of the Department with you, in your sad loss. I am, Madam, Your obedient Servant, [signature] for Director of Personal Services Mrs. D. C. H.

Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document AIR MINISTRY (Casualty Branch) 73-77 OXFORD STREET, W.1. 4th December, 1943 P.408122/43/P4.Cas.B4. Madam, I am directed to refer to your letter dated the 1st January 1944 regarding your husband, No. 918424 Sergeant R. H. G. Ellis, Royal Air Force. In reply to your enquiry, I am to state that the report received from the International Red Cross Committee contained no details to indicate where the aircraft crashed. There is, unhappily, little reason to doubt the accuracy of the German reports and experience has shown the chances are very remote of airmen being reported safe when they have been identified by the German Authorities as having lost their lives. However, action to presume death for official purposes is not now taken until further evidence or confirmation is received , or until, in the absence of such evidence, it becomes necessary, owing to lapse of time, to presume for official purposes that death has occurred. In writing this I am to assure you of the sincere sympathy of the Departmentwith you in your grave anxiety. I am, Madam, Your obedient Servant, [signature] for Director of Personal Services. Mrs. R.

[/underlined] [underlined] 918424 Sgt Ellis R.H.G [/underlined] Dear Madam, The personal effects of your husband as listed on the attached inventory have now reached this office from the Unit and will be held in safe custody pending the receipt of further evidence which will enable a conclusive classification of the casualty to be made. In the case of casualties reported as “missing” unless definite evidence comes to light in the meantime, authority to release the effects is not normally received from the Air Ministry until at least six months from the date of the casualty, since official action to presume death is rarely taken before the expiration of this period. In the case of casualties ultimately reported “Prisoner of War”, the Air Ministry will as a general rule, only authorise the release of effects on the written request of the officer or airman concerned. In these circumstances, in order to expedite release, any original letter received from a Prisoner of War in this connection should be forwarded to this office for perusal and early return. In the meantime, may I be permitted to express my sympathy with you in this period of anxiety. Yours faithfully, [signature] Squadron Leader, Commanding, [underlined] R.A.F. Central Depository.

Transcribed document A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document No. 199 Squadron, Royal Air Force, Lakenheath, Suffolk. 31st August, 1943. Dear Mrs. Ellis, By the time you receive this letter you will have been informed that your husband, 918424 SGT Ellis, R. H. G., was reported missing as a result of air operations on the night of 30/31st August, 1943, and I am writing to extend to you my most profound sympathy in your anxiety for him. He was the air gunner of an aircraft which took off that night on a mission against the enemy, but which failed to return, and I have heard nothing further of this aircraft or its crew since it left its base. Although I do not wish to raise your hopes unduly, there is always the chance that your husband may have escaped with his life and been taken prisoner of war, and I am hoping that some such news will come to hand in the near future. You will of course be informed if I should receive any further news. The Royal Air Force Central Depository at Colnbrook, Slough, Bucks, to whom your husband’s personal effects are being sent will be writing to you about them in due course. All officers and men of this Squadron with whom your husband was most popular, wish me to extend to you their most sincere sympathies, and should I be able to help you in any way, please do not hesitate to write. Yours sincerely, [signature] [underlined]Wing Commander. [/underlined] Mrs. D.C.M. Ellis, 253 Balham High Road, [underlined]London, S.W. 17.
