P.370883/42/P.4.Cas.D. R.605.
26 October, 1945.
Madam,
I am directed to refer to your recent enquiries concerning the identity of a man named “Boldey” mentioned in the trial of Warrant Officer Hughes, and to inform you that Warrant Officer Hughes has been interviewed on your behalf a second time and states that the man “Boldey” was in Berlin in 1940 using the name Boldey.
There can therefore be no connection between him and your son, Flight Sergeant D.A. Boldy, who was reported missing on the 11th July, 1942.
It is hoped that this assurance will be of help to you in your present anxiety.
I am, Madam,
Your obedient Servant,
[signature]
for Director of Personal Services.
Mrs. L. Boldy,
5, Chepstow Court,
Chepstow Crescent,
