Dear Mr. Madgett,
We very much regret that since we wrote to you on the 26th November, 1943, we have not received any information about your son, Pilot Officer H. R. MADGETT, No.147519, but we think we should tell you that a further official German report has now been sent through the International Red Cross committee at Geneva, direct to the Air Ministry, in which it is stated that two further members of your son's crew, Pilot Officer R. Bradley and Flying Officer F.D. Norton, lost their lives on the 18th August, 1943, and were buried at Grifswald-Weick, about 16 miles west of Peenemund, North Germany. The Air Ministry has accordingly posted these two officers as “Missing, believed killed in action.”
Further enquiries are being made on your behalf, and you will be notified at once, when any news of our son becomes available.
We are deeply sorry to send this news as we realise how much it will add to your anxiety, but we should not feel justified in withholding it from you, nor do we thind you would wish us to do so.
Yours sincerely,
Margaret Ampthill.
Chairman.
L.R. Madgett, Esg.,

Life Lost on Air Operations
[photograph]
Mrs. Norton, of Ebenezer, Vale-road, Exmouth, has this week received news through the Red Cross that her younger son, Flying Officer Francis Dunsford Norton, D.F.C., age 22, reported missing on August 18th last, had lost his life while on air operations and was laid to rest at Griegswald Weick, Northern Germany.
This gallant officer, who was educated at Bridgend Secondary School and finally at the Exmouth Grammar School, prior to joining the R.A.F.V.R. in 1939, was qualifying for the profession of chartered accountant.
His only brother, Searle, joined the R.A.S.C. and went overseas, taking part in the evacuation of Dunkirk.
