F/O E I Britton
Sgt E W Matthews
F/Sgt H R Thomas
F/Sgt R C Hase RCAF
F/O R J Dunstan
F/Sgt L H E Fairhead RAAF
Sgt B Wood

One of the crew, Fairhead, was RAAF. Unfortunately neither his service file nor his casualty file has been digitised, but it maybe worth asking for a copy of his casualty file for more details.

Go to http://naa12.naa.gov.au/Login.htm choose Guest, and type in his service number (436696)


However, as the CWGC website states

Choloy War Cemetery was created by the Army Graves Service for the re-burial of casualties recovered from isolated sites, communal cemeteries, and small churchyards in north-eastern France where permanent maintenance of the graves was not possible. In 1950, for the same reason the Commonwealth War Graves Commission found it necessary to move in to this cemetery more than 100 graves from a number of churchyards and civil cemeteries in the same area.

So it seems likely that move occurred either in the immediate post-war period, or in the 1950 move. The CWGC aren't normally very forthcoming when it comes to providing details of re-burials but it maybe worth trying anyway:
