Special Force India Command.'Special Force is a new formation, composed of personnel of the very highest physical and military standards. To have belonged to it is a great honour. as you will have read in the papers, the Force was put into action in the heart of Burma, from the air, and its only links with the base in India are wireless and aircraft, the latter operating from hastily improvised strips in the jungle. To accept, without question, orders that led to such isolation from comfortrest and safety, and to undergo the extreme hazards, hardships and strain of the campaign, called for more loyalty to the cause, and more self-sacrifice than is demanded of men in the more normal organisations in the service.Many people at home are proud of the fact that their sons and husbands are members of the Commandos, or the Airborne Divisions, or are in Parachute Units. I can assure you that the tasks of the Special Force embody all the riskes attendant to these corps, with the added load that our operations are carried out for far longer periods in hostile territory, and in far worse climatic conditions, and against an enemy no less tenacious than the Germans.In short, your son undertook cheerfully and with no thought of self, a task that ranks with ranks with the most hazardous and difficult asked of any man in this war.All ranks join in offering to you our deepest sympathy and in telling you of our admiration for our late comrade, whom we will always honour and respect'.The lot comprises additional items as follows: A photograph of a letter he wrote to his mother . Photograph album showing him at school and later his service with the RWAFF. Two small framed photographs of him in uniform. Two letters from Chaplain R.C.Hastie Smith to his mother.
