MAILMrs Alice Josephine Bishop, _ 1 QM/{R1945 6C/- Mrs BishopWakefield st., Albion Brisbane E Dear Madam, ~§;_}46O Private Charles Patrick, WoodI regret having to inform you on behalf of the Minister for theArmy that, from information supplied by survivorsfrom a Japanese Trans-port torpedoed in the China dea, it is feared that your Son, the above-named soldier lost his life and that his records will now be endorsed"Previously reported Prisoner of War, now reported missingbelieved deceasedon or after 12th September 1944".The transport which was torpedoed on 1.2 September 1944, in the vicinityof the Philippine Islands was conveying a large number of British zmpirepersonnel who wereprisoners of war, from Singapore to Japan. The exactnumbers and a complete list of the names of the Australian personnel believedto have been aboard the transport are ‘not known. Unfortunately a demand whichwasmade to the Japanese Authority for full lists of those on hoard the trans-port has not yet been answered. The only information so far supplied by theJapanese has been the list of any survivors in their hands. It is regretted—-4however, that the name of the abovenamed soldier is not included in this listoi‘ rescued. 'The fact of your Son's presence on the transport has only Just been _established as a result of a further interrogation oi‘ thesurvivors from thetorpedoed transport which is now taking place.Realising the distress this announcement will cause you, it is thoughtpreferable to advise you by this means rather than by the usual telegraphicadvice, and Idesire to tender on behalf of the Minister for the Army and ofthe Cormnander in Chief, their deepest sympathy with you in your distress.‘ A Yours si ncerely,_ _>_s ..(:=,_g_Que s " Lt.-Col.,> Officer in Char , QueeslandEchelon 6: Records.\ I1.=) 1£4! ‘Y ,1_ _ _.
