Summary
MY NAME is Co Maarschalkerweerd, aged 66, living in Amsterdam (Holland) and I am an amateur air war historian. My main interest is in the RAF during World War II. As such, I am writ-ing a book about the air war 193945, as it happened in those days in the vicinity of our national capital Amsterdam.
Four miles from where I live is the main General Cemetery of Amsterdam, on which is a large and well kept plot with 328 graves of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, mainly airmen. For several years now, I have been busy photographing each of these graves and trying to find out the story behind each one of the headstones present. Among those 328 casualties buried there at the New Eastern Cemetery of Amsterdam are many brave, and often very young, men who came from Liverpool or surrounding places and I will name a few of them herewith. Sergeant William Frederick Eades, aged 21, son of Frederick and Mary Eades of Liverpool; Flying Officer Noel Douglas Fleming, aged 34, son of George and Margaret Fleming and husband of Monica Fleming from Thornton, Liverpool; Sergeant Kenneth Davis Jones, son of Tom and Mary Irving Jones of Crosby, Liverpool; Sergeant George Walter Trenery, aged 29, son of John Henry and Harriet Eliza Trenery of Edge Hill, Liverpool.See the full content of this document
