My Dearest Mother, Only one letter from you since last writing, June 15TH, but as I know you write regularly they should come through, in time. I was rather amused at what you had to say at Anthony’s remarks about Miss Chris Knowles. It does seem bad us grumbling at voluntary work for us but his opinion is really quite general here. Very likely it is the people who receive her orders for things for prisoners who are responsible for sending us poor literature etc. I don’t know if I will have lost my “amiable disposition” that you mention, but Im [sic] sure that we cannot help changing a lot after two years confinement. I think we mostly become more quiet as I’ve notice that, and rowdy fellows are not really very popular. They get on ones nerves so I do think that we become more tolerant. It’s the only way to get along living in the same room with the same fellows doing the same thing day after day & month after month. That’s why I like a change of camp because there’s a change of scenery & for the first few days a new place is comparatively delightful because of new things to look at. I don’t think I’ll be moved again before the end of the war. One cant help getting depressed at times but we derive a certain amount of satisfaction even from the German news these days & new prisoners are our only source of home news. This letter sounds like complaining the whole time, but I didn’t mean it that way. Only I know you’re interested in what this is like. However I should think the effects will wear off with time & seeing you all again in peace. Much love, dear Mother. Donald

9 September, 1943.
Madam,
I am commanded by the Air Council to express to you their great regret on learning that your husband, Sergeant Andrew Bain, Royal Air Force, is missing as the result of air operations on the night of the 23rd/24th August, 1943, when a Stirling aircraft in which he was flying as air bomber set out to bomb the enemy and was not heard from again.
This does not necessarily mean that he is killed or wounded, and if he is a prisoner of war he should be able to communicate with you in due course. Meanwhile enquiries are being made through the International Red Cross Committee, and as soon as any definite news is received you will be at once informed.
If any information regarding your husband is received by you from any source you are requested to be kind enough to communicate it immediately to the Air Ministry.

Dear Mrs. Bain,
We are writing to tell you of a report which has recently reached us through the International Red Cross Committee concerning a member of the crew with whom your husband, Sergeant A. Bain 658930, was flying.
The Organisation at Geneva has now forwarded an Official German statement that Warrant Officer Fear was laid to rest in the Garrison Cemetery at Doberitz, Germany.
From the records that reach us, we are able to tell you that it is usual for our enemies to bury members of one crew near to one another, so that the name of this cemetery may actually convey news of the last resting place of your husband.
When an official statement regarding him comes through you will be notified without fail either by the Air Ministry or by ourselves. We believe, however, that you would wish to receive this report, which we are accordingly forwarding.
With our renewed sympathy.
Yours sincerely,
[Underlined] Margaret Ampthill [/Underlined] MP DL

Dear Mrs Bain,
We deeply regret that you will by now have heard from the Air Ministry that your husband, Sergeant A. Bain, 658930, has been posted Missing, believed killed in Action, and we should like to offer you the deep sympathy of all in this Department.
The report that your husband and all the members of his crew lost their lives on the 24th August, [inserted] 1943, [/inserted] was sent to the International Red Cross Committee at Geneva in an official German statement.
Further enquires are being made about your husband’s death and place of burial, and you will be notified without delay when any information reaches the Air Ministry or ourselves.
Many answers are being received to enquiries of this kind, but we are afraid that they often take several months to come through.
With again our deepest sympathy, yours sincerely,
Margaret Ampthill
