Wally Oakes

Wallace Arnold Oakes GC (23 April 1932 – 12 June 1965), known as Wally Oakes,〔Michael Ashcroft, ''George Cross Heroes'', 2010〕 was a train driver with British Railways who was born in Barbridge, Cheshire〔Latham FA, ed. ''Acton'', pp. 58–59 (The Local History Group; 1995) (ISBN 0 9522284 1 6)〕 and lived at Wheelock Heath, Sandbach, Cheshire.
==1965 train accident==

On 5 June 1965 he was the driver in charge of a relief train when at about seven miles from Crewe the fire suddenly blew back from the firebox of his steam locomotive, filling the cab with smoke and flames. Fireman Gwilym Roberts managed to climb out of the cab window and extinguish his clothing by rubbing against the plating, but Oakes stayed at his post to close the regulator, open the blower, and apply the brake.〔Simon Albert, "(Railman was awarded George Cross )", ''Winsford Guardian'', Friday 11 April 2008〕〔"(Train driver remembered in service )", Crewe Chronicle, 27 June 2007〕
Roberts found his mate lying on the embankment next to the train, badly burned, but evidently having remained in the cab until the train stopped. Oakes suffered burns to approximately 80% of his body. The pain was such that he had to be suspended above his hospital bed and given large doses of morphine. A week after the accident, he died from his injuries.
