Apicella, Gennaro (Catering Corps)
I’m trying to find out further information about my father’s part in the liberation of Belsen-Bergen.
He was a Company Cook in the Catering Corps and I’m currently trying to get his military records.
APV001483605: Gennaro Apicella (Service Number: 14379057)
He died in 1973 and 24.2.2024 would have been his 100th birthday.

My dad Sgt brenchley , was a crocodile tank commander at the end of the war . To be honest not to sure of unit etc.
But anyway I thought you may be interested in these couple of pictures from his personal
Photo album. He as sent home at wars end then sent out to Malaya in 1948 with the 4th hussars for 3 years
He just labelled these photos in his album as burning Belsen
Bit blurry as you can appreciate as they are many years old.
Hope they are of interest.

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.
Submitted by: BennLiddiard, George Bernard (110 HAA)
My dad was a British soldier at Belsen but after the war he wouldn’t speak about it (I was born on April 17th 1945).
My dad was Gunner 1575864 George Bernard Liddiard of 110 HAA regiment and he went to Belgium in the autumn of 1944.
However, as there were no enemy aircraft to shoot at in the Spring they joined the infantry and were ‘mopping up’ so not sure if they stumbled across Belsen or were ordered in?
His release book says that he was transferred to RASC/Pool with EFI.

63rd Anti-tank regiment.
He was in the Oxfordshire Yeomanry which became the 63rd anti-tank regiment. I know he was among those who liberated Belsen, but I don’t know any more details than that. We used to have a Belsen Report which he brought back from there, but unfortunately we can’t find it now.
His name was Gerald Vigors De Courcy O’Grady and I think he may have been a Major in 1944. He later become a Lt Col.
