Below are four documents issued by the War Department from
December 1944 through April 1946.

The first is the Battle Casualty Report dated 8 December 1944.
This is the date that notification was sent to
Sgt Wright's mother, Mrs Janet S Wright.

Her son's status is Missing in Action.

the Next of Kin.

One year and one day following the last known
date that Sgt Wright was alive, the document
Finding of Death
was issued on 4 December 1945.

Four months later, on 6 April 1946,
a Report of Death was issued.

This most likely was based upon Sgt Wright's
preliminary identification in the field.

The last document is a second Battle Casualty Report
dated 29 March 1946.

This document is based on information obtained after
the Finding of Death.
