Dover Kent 13. June 1944

Deeply regret to inform you that your son,

575931 Sgt. R. J. Miles is missing from air

operations on the night, 12/13 June 1944

letter following. Please accept my most profound

sympathy. Pending receipt of written notification

This paper shows, when once I died

If it be true, no tears I cried

Not even I would ever see
