Private Wilfred J Cheesebrough

The following obituary appeared in the October 1952 edition of the Pegasus Journal:

'The death of Pte Wilfred James Cheesebrough in a parachuting accident in the Middle East on 21st August, 1952, will be keenly felt by all his friends. Pte. Cheesebrough joined the 1st Battalion in April, 1952. He had a quiet and unassuming nature, and could always be relied on to carry out any tasks given to him efficiently and without any bother. He was a keen footballer and stood a very good chance of playing for the Battalion team. To his family we offer our deepest sympathy.'

Both Pte Cheesebrough and Pte Pike, who died in the same parachuting accident, are now buried in Moascar War Cemetery, Egypt.
