APPRECIATION FROM BRITAIN.
The Late Keith Windus.
Mr. G-. H. Windus, of Boxleigh, Gumble, has received a letter from his late son's Squadron Leader, expressing sympathy with them in their loss.
Tho letter is as follows: — 'No. 626 Squadron, Royal Air Force, Wickenby, Lincoln, 27th November, 1943..
Dear Mr. Windus, — By the time you receive this letter you will have been informed that your son Flight Sergeant Keith Neville Windus lost his life on an operational, sortie on the night of the 26th/27th November, 1943, and I take this opportunity of expressing my most sincere sympathy. Your son was the Captain of a -Lancaster Aircraft which took off on a mission against the enemy. I am sorry to say that after completing the mission, it crashed in Norfolk, and all of the crew were killed instantly. During the time your son had been on this Squadron, he proved himself a capable Captain in whom I had every confidence. He was well liked and will be sadly missed by all. All ranks wish to join with me in offering their deepest sympathies. You have every reason to be proud of your son, for he was doing a fine job of work. Yours sincerely (SignedGroup Captain, Commanding R.A.F. Station, Wickenby).
Mr. Windus has also been advised that his late son was buried with full Service Honours at Regional Cemetery, Cambridge.
Soon after the outbreak of hostilities he enlisted in the A.I.F. in July, 1940; was discharged as medically unfit in March, 1941. He returned home and was his father's rights-hand man with his Merino stud, in which Keith was deeply interested. Feeling that he should again try to do his duty for his country, he enlisted in the R.A.A.F. in July of the same year; had his call up in November and went to Somers, Victoria, and Narrandera for training. He left Australia in June,. 1942- for Canada under the Empire Air Training 'Scheme, that journey taking 8 weeks. He encountered many experiences en route, one of them being an attack by a submarine in the Carrabean Sea. He received his wings on Dec. 4th, 1942, and was attached to the R.A.F. until he met his death.
