I am wondering if you may have any records or information in regards to my great grandfather, 14340467 Sgt Thomas Jasper. He was in the anti tank platoon of the south Lancashire regiment and the story goes his section was involved in the liberation of Bergen Belsen concentration camp.

My Uncle Joseph Jones was one of the first through the gate, giving medical assistance to the poor people in there. He spent weeks working in there and gave evidence that was used at the Nuremberg war trials to send the Nazis to the gallows. On his return to the UK, he became a vicer in Blackpool and passed away about 20 years ago.
Unfortunately don't know his unit or whether he was RAMC. I know he married a Wren who worked as a BOMBE Operator in Bletchley Park, my Aunt Jessie. The only photo I have of him is with a dog collar on. I'll contact his son Martin to see if he has any details. I'm a Navy Veteran myself.
(Yes please - a photo and any more details would be fantastic!)

"Old Soldiers never die, they just fade away" Veteran of Normandy Landings and a Liberator at Bergen Belsen Concentration Camp Len, sadly passed away at the age of 93 years on 20th May 2017 at Hengoed Park Residential Home, formerly of Orchard Court. Loved father of Cheryl and Jeff, dear father-in-law of Clive and Roberta, much loved grandpa of his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Update by Cheryl Srbek.
My father Leonard Jones spoke little about his war until into his 90’s
Even though from Swansea and Welsh served in the 15th Scottish regiments REME.
He talked about liberating Bergen Belsen and after the commandos he drove through the gates on a bulldozer and was then tasked with bulldozing bodies into mass graves.
