Dear Sirs,
I would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for your assistance In locating the crashed aircraft near GUNYAH on Aug. 24.- 25th.

This headquarters greatly appreciates your splendid efforts on that occasion which involved complete sacrifice of your own interests over a period of many hours.

The parents of these unfortunate boys would, I feel sure, express in no uncertain manner, their deepest appreciation of the work done by you. On their behalf I thank you again.

Application has been made for petrol ration tickets to cover fuel used by you on the night of the search. Same will be promptly forwarded on receipt from R.A.A.F. Headquarters.

Please convey to Miss A. Rennie my thanks for the assistance she gave on the above occasion,
Yours faithfully,
(Signature)
Flying Officer.
