Dear Mrs. E. Milling,
It is with reluctance that I must once again refer to the loss of your husband, Sergeant Edward Milling, Royal Air Force, but you will wish to know that a report has now been received as the result of investigations carried out by the Royal Air Force Missing Research and Enquiry Service in Germany.
This report states that your husband and his five comrades are interred in graves numbered 1-6 in the north east corner of the cemetery at Heyersum, approximately 6 Miles west of Hildesheim. Owing to the circumstances under which they lost their lives, however, individual identification was only possible for Sergeant Jackson, Acting Flight Lieutenant McGhie and Sergeant Ackroyd, who are interred in graves numbered 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Graves numbered 4-6 have been marked with crosses inscribed collectively with the full service particulars of your husband and the two remaining members of the crew.
All the members of the other crew involved are interred in a communal grave in the cemetery at Mahlerten.
It is hoped that the knowledge of your husband’s place of burial received after so great a lapse of time, will afford you some slight measure of consolation in your great loss.
Yours sincerely,
[signature]
Mrs. E. Milling,
57, West Crescent,
