Their father Leslie worked as a ladies tailor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfred enlisted at the beginning of 1943, and after training as a flight engineer he was posted to 207 Squadron.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfred was the flight engineer on Lancaster PD210 which departed from RAF Spilsby on a night operation to Revigny. The aircraft was shot down by a night fighter and crashed at St Germain-La-Ville, France killing six of the crew. The wireless operator John Chapple was blown clear of the aircraft and was rescued by a local baker Pierre Lahanque who found him badly injured on a ridge off the road from Chalons, France. John was hidden until he was rescued by American forces and returned home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further information on his story will be available soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The crew who died:<br>A\/G, Howard Frederick Edmunds, RCAF, J\/90345.<br>Nav, John Hague, 1452134.<br>A\/G, Charles Higgins, 984434.<br>Pilot, William Ross McNaughton, 176729.<br>A\/B, \u00a0Rowland Tibbs, 149460. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The crew are buried alongside each other in St. Germain-La-Ville Churchyard, France facing towards England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Alfred-Supkovitch.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1043\" width=\"366\" height=\"619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Alfred-Supkovitch.jpg 308w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Alfred-Supkovitch-250x423.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Alfred-Supkovitch-120x203.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 366px) 100vw, 366px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"477\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Supkovitch-rear.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Supkovitch-rear.jpg 477w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Supkovitch-rear-250x295.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Supkovitch-rear-120x142.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 477px) 100vw, 477px\" \/><figcaption>Reverse of Alf&#8217;s photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alfred Supkovitch Flight Engineer, 207 SquadronService number 1893432Died 19 July 1944Buried St. Germain-La-Ville Churchyard, FranceAge 19 Headstone Inscription&#8216;WE OFT REPEAT HIS NAME, WHAT WOULD WE GIVE TO HEAR HIS VOICE AND SEE HIS SMILE AGAIN&#8217; Alfred was born in January 1925 in Mile End, London to Lazarus (known as Leslie Harry) and Milly n\u00e9e Klyman&#8230; <a class=\"view-article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/raf\/supkovitch-alfred\/\">View Article<\/a>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3387,"parent":22,"menu_order":616,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Supkovitch, Alfred | Remembering the Jews of WW2<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/raf\/supkovitch-alfred\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Supkovitch, Alfred | Remembering the Jews of WW2\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Alfred Supkovitch Flight Engineer, 207 SquadronService number 1893432Died 19 July 1944Buried St. Germain-La-Ville Churchyard, FranceAge 19 Headstone Inscription&#8216;WE OFT REPEAT HIS NAME, WHAT WOULD WE GIVE TO HEAR HIS VOICE AND SEE HIS SMILE AGAIN&#8217; Alfred was born in January 1925 in Mile End, London to Lazarus (known as Leslie Harry) and Milly n\u00e9e Klyman...
