Dear Mrs. Quinlan, This department is responsible for the proper distribution of Campaign Stars and Medals belonging to the relatives of those members of His Majesty's Canadian Forces who made the supreme sacrifice in World War II. The enclosed Campaign Stars and Medals were earned by the late Flying Officer Quinlan during his service in the Royal Canadian Air Force and form part of his service estate. As next of kin of your gallant son, you are the person legally entitled to receive his medals, and we are very pleased indeed to be able to release them to you at the present time, for safe-keeping. Yours truly, H. M. Jackson, Director, War Service Records.
