My Dad was a cook attached to the Royal Engineers he had been with then since the planning for the Pluto fuel line at the Isle of Wight then Normandy France Belgium Holland Germany (Belsen) although little did he talk about his experiences he did say how they had to dilute soup so the prisoners could tolerate it as it had been so long since they had anything at all and any food was impossible for them it was doing more harm than good.
My Dad was TPW(Tom) REECE 410099 army catering corps. Before the war he was in the Shropshire Yeomanry and a baker in civilian life, that's how he came to be in the catering corps, he didn't have an option.

Submitted by: 113th DLI Archive/Belsen ArchiveRollinson, John
John Rollinson who served in WW2 as a cook with the Army Catering Corps, army no. 7600895. In 1945 he was attached to 91 Reception Camp in Amersham, catering for injured repatriated POWs. We know from John's personal testimony when he was alive that he was one of a number of army cooks sent to Bergen-Belsen on the camp's liberation to feed the prisoners. However, there is no reference to this on his records (Army form B103 etc.), presumably as it was a secret operation (?).

My father, Vincent Rowan, born 1914, was with the BAMC at Bergen Belsen when it was liberated. It was only as they were leaving that they were told the war was over. Dad always described the area as terrible and it affected him greatly as he told us some of the things they experienced.
