Dear Mrs. Fitzgerald:

It is a privilege to have the opportunity of sending you the Operational Wings and Certificate in recognition of the gallant services rendered by your son, Flight Sergeant, J.E. Fitzgerald, D.F.M.

I realize there is little which may be said or done to lessen your sorrow, but it is my hope that these "Wings", indicative of operations against the enemy, will be a treasured memento of a young life offered on the altar of freedom in defence of his Home and Country.

Yours very sincerely,

(W.A. Dicks)
Wing Commander
for Chief of the Air Staff
