207502 W/O Alfred Charles Cheese Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve Air Bomber 171 Sqn from:Bethnal Green, London (d.6th Jan 1945) My great uncle Alf Cheese was an air bomber with 171 Squadron and went down with his crew on the 6th of January 1945 over Belgium where he and his crew were layed to rest in Ambly Communal Cemetery. His plane was Halifax 111 NA687 6Y-A and his crew were: F/Lt G Cox,Sgt S R Fenwick, F/O R Maden, F/S A E Meekings, W/O F E T Davy, W/O2 C D Mison (RCAF) and F/S C D C Farlie . W/O Davy was the specialist equipment operator and Alf was W/O A C Cheese and they flew out of North Creake but never to return. The poor crew were buried a total of three times; first after the crash then after the war as one of the crew was RCAF. They were all reburied as RCAF but then they were dug up and reburied where they are now at rest in Ambly. In May 2010 I drove and found him and the crew in Belgium in a very lovely cemetery. Not long after the war my mother went to see him. His sister (my nan) is no longer with us but now with him and he still has a sister and brother living life but are to old to go and see him.
