March 9, 1945: R.T.E. Hicks-Lyne, Colonel about the actions on September 14, 1944.
Pte. Rosinski was a member of a company engaged in a midnight action. The enemy were encountered, and your son's company was outnumbered and surrounded. Fighting continued at close quarters for a period of some ten hours; then our men withdrew under cover of smoke. Pte. Rosinski was known to have been wounded and received attention from company stretcher-bearers. Owing to the fact that it was not possible to evacuate the wounded, he had to be of necessity left behind.
In view of the above report it would appear that there is a possibility of your son's being now a prisoner of war; however, this cannot be accepted as Official.
