My darling Johnnie,
I’m feeling very much ashamed already of the letter I wrote you this morning on the receipt of the disappointing news about the commission. It was selfish of me, & certainly did nothing to cheer you up, and I’m very sorry. I’m sending some cigarettes herewith in the hope that you can drown your sorrow in smoke. Also a photo of the Howies, another good one. Mrs Howie also sent me the negatives of all those photos of us two, which was very decent of her. When you return this one I’ll
[page break]
stick it into the album.
I was evolving all sorts of hair-brained schemes for writing to Sir Charles Portal, or the King or someone to get you a commission until I remember K.R’s we learnt at Aberystwyth threatening blood & thunder to anyone who did that sort of thing!
Anyway I don’t care whether you’re AC2 or Air Vice Marshal so long as you come home safely to me in the end!
All my love to you, darling one. It shouldn’t be so very long now until we are in each others arms again, even if only for a short while.
Yours for ever
[underlined] Ursula [/underlined]

Saturday. 30/8/41.
My dear Douglas.
I have been delighted to have five letters from you this week – 3 on Tuesday morning dated July 16/24/29 & 2 on Wed. [ditto mark] dated July 20/Aug 2/. Four of the five are marked “Par Avion” one, July 28th, is not but it arrived in quite good time just the same. None of the letters have postage stamps but each is stamped with [inserted] red [/inserted] lettering “Prisoner of War Post.” So I conclude there has been still another change in the manner of posting.
We learned from a radio announcement last night that different regulations are now in force regarding letters to civilians & prisoners of war in neutral countries so I must make a point of getting one [inserted] a pamphlett [sic], [/inserted] & seeing what it’s all about. Well love I couldn’t tell you what joy your letters bring to me. I am so glad you take part in sport & organised games I do hope your tender nose is now quite healed & that the weak spot will not debar you from taking further part in boxing.
It was grand to have your cable yesterday It is wonderful that we can keep in touch with each other & as I’ve told you in a previous letter
[page break]
it is such a thrill to have news from you in one, or two, days. This week has been one of poignant memories coupled with a deep gratitude & you have been constantly in my thoughts tho [sic] I have had a very busy – far too busy – week with the decorator doing a bedroom the bathroom & the hall & staircase. What an upset! & what a lot of scrubbing & polishing up, afterward! How I do miss Mrs Lord on these occasions!
This evening, since dinner, I’ve been doing a bit of enamelling, white – our landlady will scarcely know her own house when she comes to collect a month’s rent in advance on Mon, Sept 1st She may not like the decorator’s account tho [sic] he does work cheaply – everything is so expensive & wall-papers are just doubled in price since war started. I’ve told you in a previous letter that we are going to Auntie Gladys’s next week-end Sat. until Tues.
Dad does not go to the Works until Thursday but thought he would like to go to Manchester on Wednesday. He has not been back since we came here in February & as no doubt you have gathered [inserted] from the Daily Mail of Manch [sic] issue [/inserted] is a sadly altered town from when you were here. The days just fly away & I always have been so busy since we came here. The days are shortening very rapidly & it’s blackout time about 8-35p.m. feels like the end of summer. Goodnight & God bless you always.
All or love

William (Bill) Ernest Lucas was born in Tooting Bec, London on the 16th January 1917, 3 years deep into World War One. Luckily for Bill he was not of age to endure with the fighting in the trenches. However, when Europe was engulfed into another worldwide conflict in 1939, this set way for Bill to become involved with the RAF and IBCC.
Growing up, Bill was an only child and left his school (Bec Grammar School) at the age of 15. He managed to get a job with a printers, which led to his second and only other job at an insurance company called the London and Lancashire. The company’s sports club enabled Bill to find his passion for athletics (especially running) and he was expected to participate in the 1940 Olympics until the war interfered. (https://ibccdigitalarchive.lincoln.ac.uk/omeka/collections/document/30884)
A photo of Bill in his running gear is shown in https://ibccdigitalarchive.lincoln.ac.uk/omeka/collections/document/30865 where he is running down 55 Graham Road in Surrey.
Bill instead competed in the 1948 Olympic Games as the games were also cancelled in 1944 due to World War Two. Luckily the games were hosted in London (https://olympics.com/en/olympic-games/london-1948) and Bill had retired from IBCC meaning that he had time to participate.
As seen in ‘Bill Lucas and the 1948 London Olympics’ (1948) https://ibccdigitalarchive.lincoln.ac.uk/omeka/collections/document/30866 Bill managed to come 6th in the Second Heat meaning he was one position off of being in the final on the 2nd August 1948! This collection also includes Bill in his older prime wearing his 1948 Olympic Games jacket and the official Olympic Games programme from 1948.
When Hitler invaded Poland on September 1st 1939, Bill was 22 years old meaning that he was eligible to be part of Great Britain’s Army. Combining Bill’s hatred of the sea and his fathers recent experiences in the trenches, the RAF seemed to be the most compatible choice with Bill. (https://ibccdigitalarchive.lincoln.ac.uk/omeka/files/original/520/30884/B[Author]LucasWEv10001.jpg)
Bill was not involved in Britain’s mightiest air conflict against Hitler’s Luftwaffe however, instead watching ‘The Few’ defeat the Nazi aircrafts and succeed. Being considered to be Nazi Germany’s first ‘major military defeat’, this allowed for Britain to continue fighting in the war (https://www.raf.mod.uk/our-organisation/our-history/anniversaries/battle-of-britain/ and to an extent, allowed Bill to continue his path of becoming an Squadron Leader.
It was November 1940 when Bill started his pilot training, but due to a bomber offensive being the only way to properly counter the Nazis, this was huge not just for Bill but Britain as a whole. There had never been a bomber offensive before in warfare. https://ibccdigitalarchive.lincoln.ac.uk/omeka/files/original/520/30884/B[Author]LucasWEv10001.jpg
As seen in Bill’s official Pilot’s Log Book: (https://ibccdigitalarchive.lincoln.ac.uk/omeka/files/original/520/24264/LLucasWE122826v1.1.pdf) his training consisted of being part of 16 Elementary Flying School at RAF Derby from 1940 to 41 , 8 School of Flying Training at RAF Montrose in 1941 and 20 Operational Training Units at RAF Lossiemouth in 1941 . He flew three different types of aircraft during his training, Miles Magister, Miles Master and Wellington I’s.
Bill’s training finally finished in August 1941 and he was posted to his first official squadron, IX Squadron at Honington. Here he flew the Wellington Bomber.

William Cragg
William (Bill) Lucas was born on January 16th, 1917 in Tooting Bec, London. He was educated at Bec Grammar School, and left at the age of 15 to work at a printing company before moving to the insurers London and Lancashire to work as an assessor. While working there, he developed his talent for athletics with the Belgrave Harriers, with his best discipline being the 5000 metres. His goal was to compete at the 1940 Olympic games. However, in 1940, Bill was called up to help the war effort and mindful of his father’s advice to avoid the army and his own dislike of the sea, he chose to join the RAF.
Initially he trained as a fighter pilot on Miles Magisters and Miles Masters, but by the time he had finished training, the Battle of Britain had been won and the need for bomber pilots was more urgent. So, he was reallocated to bombers and trained to fly the Wellington at RAF Lossiemouth. Bill Lucas · IBCC Digital Archive (lincoln.ac.uk)
Following completion of pilot training in August 1941, he was posted to RAF Honington and joined 9 Squadron flying Wellingtons. He flew 14 operational sorties – notably Cologne and Hamburg – before converting to Stirlings at RAF Waterbeach. He then joined 15 (Bomber) Squadron at RAF Wyton, flying the Short Stirling and, by August 1942, Bill had completed a full tour of 30 operational sorties (over 40 operations in total). Bill experienced tense encounters with German defences, having to take evasive action and also getting caught in a cone of five or six searchlights. To get out of the searchlight glare he had to do things with the aircraft which it was never meant to do. Returning from one mission they flew too close to Kiel and the airframe amassed a lot of bullet holes and an alarming loss of fuel. Crossing the North Sea, the tank indicators showed practically nothing and they had to divert into Woodbridge in Suffolk. The groundcrew estimated there was less than twenty-five gallons of fuel left (probably less than 6 minutes of flying time).
He was released from operational duties and was posted to RAF Lossiemouth as a flying instructor. Then in December 1944, he returned to operational flying and was posted to 162 Squadron, part of the Pathfinder force, to fly the Mosquito, an aircraft he described as “a bit quicker and more responsive; a nice aeroplane”. He completed a further 34 operational sorites with 162 Squadron, including missions over Kiel, Berlin, Hannover and Magdeburg. In recognition of his war services, Bill was awarded the DFC and was Mentioned in Despatches.
Squadron Leader Bill Lucas was released from the Service in January 1946 and returned to the insurance job he had left to join the RAF. Eventually, he left the company to become an insurance broker. He also returned to athletics and the Belgrave Harriers; he ran in various internationals and competed for Great Britain in the 5000m at the 1948 London Olympics. Athletics remained with him for the rest of his life and he gave his spare time freely, working in prominent roles in the administration of athletics. He remained a Belgrave Harrier committee member well into his 90s. He became known as “the golden voice of British Athletics” for his many years as stadium announcer at the White City .
In his later years, Bill remained prominent in RAF and Aircrew Associations. He, along with a small Band of Sussex veterans, was instrumental in helping to raise funds for the construction of the Bomber Command Memorial in London’s Green Park and the International Bomber Command Centre.
