This is just a line to offer you my very sincere congratulations on your immediate award of the C.G.M. which I was delighted to hear about this morning. I do congratulate you on the very gallant effort which you and the remainder of Pilot Officer Catlin’s crew put up on the night in question.
Wishing you the best of luck and an early recovery from your wounds.
