Dear Mr & Mrs Wright,
I feel it my duty on behalf of the members of my crew to write to you and give you some details on Barry’s injuries and how he recieved [sic] them. I am Jim, the pilot and if you remember, was priviledged [sic] to meet you on Kings Cross when returning from my last leave.
To come to the point however, we were detailed to attack a target at Leipzig on Saturday night. The trip was uneventful until we reached the outskirts of Berlin where we should have turned south to the target. It was here that we were attacked by two M.E. 110s and here that
[page break]
[underlined] 2. [/underlined]
your son was wounded by a shrapnel wound in the stomach. We were very badly damaged and three other members of the crew were also wounded one, the mid-upper gunner, seriously, although we did not know that at the time. Our rear gunner destroyed one of fighters and the other sheered off without firing another shot. Now I want to be quite honest and frank when I tell you that we all owe our lives to Barry. Although wounded and on the point of collapse, he would not leave his post, and throughout the attack and all the way home to England he showed the utmost courage and devotion to duty. We as a crew are proud and honoured to have had such a fine brave lad with us – we are indebted to him for the rest of our days, and we will not forget it.
You must not worry about Barry – he is in the best hands possible
[page break]
[underlined] 3. [/underlined]
and his wounds are not serious. In fact he will not have changed at all when next you see him. You can take my word for it, and I ask you to trust me, that he is in no danger at all.
We are finished with operations now and I hope to be given some leave very shortly – if I manage this I will take the opportunity of coming to see you and we can talk things over in detail.
So for now then I will finish off, hoping sincerely to see you very soon. Thank you again for a wonderful son, of whom you have every reason to be proud – we can never forget him. Goodbye then – best regards to you all and God bless you.
Yours very sincerely
James H Catlin.

[underlined] Particulars of Meritorious Service [/underlined]
This Non-commissioned Officer has carried out 25 sorties against the enemy, including TEN against Berlin.
On the night of the 19th. February, 1944, he was Flight Engineer in an aircraft detailed to attack Leipsig, [sic] and when over enemy territory and nearing the target, the aircraft was attacked by two enemy fighters. The first attack severely damaged the aircraft and wounded him, as well as the Wireless Operator, Navigator and Mid-Upper Gunner.
Badly wounded as he was, Sergeant Wright retained consciousness and his first thought was to carry on with his duty. His instrument panel was completely shot away and one petrol tank was holed and empty, but despite these difficulties he kept on with his work and succeeded in keeping all the engines running at the maximum power possible.
When the Captain realised how seriously wounded the Flight Engineer was, he tried to dissuade him from working on, but to no avail. He still continued to give the pilot all possible help and although he had to be supported by the Bomb Aimer, he continued to coax the utmost power out of the engines for the long flight home, during which he fainted three times from loss of blood. By his efforts he was materially responsible for the aircraft returning safely.
For his disregard of his wounds and his devotion to duty in the face of danger, this Non-commissioned Officer is recommended for the award of the Conspicuous Gallantry Medal.

[underlined] REMARKS BY STATION COMMANDER. [/underlined]
Sgt. Wright was severely wounded in the groin causing serious loss of blood and considerable pain. Despite this, he remained at his post for four hours thus saving his aircraft. This conspicuous example of gallantry and refusal to admit defeat fully merits the immediate award of the Conspicuous Gallantry Medal which is most strongly recommended.
