Dear Mrs. Wynn,
We very much regret to have to tell you that no information has come through regarding your husband Sergeant I.A. Wynn. No.1024298, although full enquiries are being made on your behalf.
We feel it is only right, however, that you should be informed of the grievous report which has reached us through the International Red Cross Committee at Geneva, concerning the crew of which your husband was a member, for although the information which this contains can but add most deeply to your already great anxiety, we believe that you would not wish it to be withheld.
A telegram from the organisation at Geneva reports that according to the official German Authorities, Pilot Officer G. Russell and Pilot Officer H.N. Petts lost their lives on May 26th. 1943, and also one member of the crew whose identity it had not yet been possible to establish. On receipt of this tragic news the Air Ministry has posted the two airmen whose names are given as "Missing, believed Killed in Action" but since the crew consisted of seven men you will understand that until further information is forthcoming the remaining five members must still be classified as 'missing'.
We realise what this report will mean to you, and we wish you to know that every effort is being made in order to

WAS/GG/RAF/C.7289
6th January, 1945.
Dear Mrs. Wynn,
We are writing to tell you of a further sad report which has reached us by cable from the International Red Cross Committee in connection with our enquiries about the crew in which your husband, Pilot Officer I. A. WYNN, was serving.
The Organisation at Geneva has sent an authoritative statement from the Official Bureau in Berlin that three airmen flying in this aircraft, of whose names they were not aware at the time, were laid to rest in the Military Cemetery at Venlo. The numbers 280, 281 and 298 are quoted for the graves of these crew-members, who would seem to rest near to their companions, Pilot Officer Russell and Flying Officer Petts.
We realise how this tragic information, coming so long afterwards, must needs add to your anxiety and sorrow; but we can only tell you the German reports about those serving together are often sent through at long intervals, and it is unhappily not unusual for later records of burial to reach us which apply to airmen not originally notified as having lost their lives.
P.T.O.
[page break]

The present military pressure around Venlo will not allow [inserted] of [/inserted] our continued enquiries through channels open to us in that area. We are, however, assured the War Graves Registration & Enquiry Section of the war Office will be making full investigations there whenever this becomes possible, and will forward their records to the Air Ministry who will inform the next-of-kin.
While we are sending you this grievous news with the greatest reluctance, realising its possible implications and what they will mean to you, we do not believe you would wish us to keep back any record we may receive about the crew and hope you will forgive the pain our letter cannot but bring you.
With again the assurance of our deep sympathy at this time.
Yours sincerely,

29th July, 1943.
Dear Mrs. Wynn,
Thank you for your letter dated 25th July regarding your husband, Sergeant I.A. Wynn No. 1024298.
We are so sorry to have to tell you that we do not advise you to address correspondence to your husband until it is established that he is a Prisoner-of-War, and then the Prisoner-of-War Department at St. James’ Palace will give you all the necessary advice about writing.
In the case of men captured at Singapore, correspondence was sent via the Red Cross because it was clear that large numbers of our men had actually become Prisoners-of-War though we had no news of them.
We realise how anxious you are during these days of waiting but rest assured everything possible is being done on your behalf and immediately any news comes through from the International Red Cross Committee at Geneva or any other source, you will be notified.
With our sympathy in your anxiety.
Yours sincerely,
[underlined] Margaret Ampthill. [/underlined

Any news which may be forthcoming from the International Red Cross Committee at Geneva or from any other source, will be passed to you immediately. If, however, you are the registered next-of-kin, your first notification will come from the Air Ministry.
Yours sincerely,
Margaret Ampthill
Chairman.
