  8. Hitchcock is listed on the Aquitania passenger list, along with a handwritten note "R.A.F. allied forces under orders". The dangers of Atlantic travel meant that both Sidney Bernstein and Alma Reville were listed as people to be contacted in the event of Hitch's death if the Aquitania was sunk.
