Your son was Rear Gunner of an aircraft detailed to carry out an attack against the Sorpe Dam. Contact with this aircraft was lost after it took off, and nothing further was heard from it. It is possible that the crew were able to abandon the aircraft and land safely in enemy territory… Please accept my sincere sympathy during this anxious period of waiting. I have arranged for your son’s personal effects to be taken care of… And these will be forwarded to you… Light toning, else very good. In September, 1942 Liddell was posted to 61 Squadron as the rear gunner in a crew captained by Flt. This crew completed a full tour of 30 operations together.
