FIRST BRITISH CASUALTY
PILOT OFFICER EDWARDS. OFFICIALLY POSTED AS MISSING. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 11.50 a.m.) LONDON, September 15. Pilot-Officer Edwards is the first official British casualty of the war. He was promoted to pilot-officer on April .12. He is officially posted as mis - ing. His next of kin in New Zealand have been notified. AIRMAN’S BROADCAST. REGARDED AS A FAKE. (Received This Day, 11.40 a.m.) LONDON, September 15. The “Evening News’’ states that the broadcast by Pilot-Officer Edwards was obviously a typical German farce. Actually, it is a recorded conversation, probably recorded without the airmen’s knowledge while they thought they were answering a few general inquiries from the airmen who brought them down. Other messages relating to FlyingOfficer Edwards appear on page 9.
