Sgt. Alfred George Osborne

Royal Air Force 619 Squadron

from:Ipswich, Suffolk

(d.20th October 1943)

I was very proud of my brother, Alfred Osborne. He taught me to ride a bicycle. When he joined the RAF we did not see much of him. His death hit my mother and father very hard. We had to wait some time for some news of his death by telegram as he had been originally reported as missing presumed dead. He was very much loved but I feel sure that he was enjoying the company of his fellow crew. Two of our family have visited the IBCC memorial and have found his details. We are very pleased to honour his memory and to be part of a process that demonstrates respect for the brave actions of all of those who risked their lives in Bomber Command.
