Alfred Bartłomiej Peszke (born 14 December 1899, died 3 March 1966 in Croydon) was a Polish Air Force officer, infantry veteran of the Polish-Soviet War (1919-1921) and Air Force veteran of the September 1939 Campaign.
His distinguished service during the Polish September Campaign was recognized by General Tadeusz Kutrzeba, who personally awarded him Poland's highest military decoration for valor, the Cross of the Virtuti Militari for destroying six German tanks.
The Border Defence Corps Regiment "Sarny", which operated the Area, was very well trained, and its soldiers, including Władysław Raginis, distinguished themselves during the Battle of Wizna (see Polish September Campaign), and in other battlefields in the area of Osowiec and Upper Silesia, where up to 80% of KOP died or were wounded.
