My father told me he was driving either the first or second truck that entered Belsen.
He was belonging to Army service corp as a driver. Some years later I think it was the 50th anniversary of D.Day celebration he was going to visit Belsen with his brothers who were also in ww2, but when he got about a mile from Belsen , he asked his brothers to stop got out of car and started to walk away from Belsen, he said he never wanted to be reminded of it ever again.

Belsen Online Archive
This archive has been established after my own relative, Reg Price, took part in the liberation and subsequent humanitarian effort of Bergen Belsen in April 1945. Reg produced this famous sign at Belsen. As part of the 113th DLI, Reg and his comrades were at Belsen for 5 weeks and left when the last hut was empty and ceremonially burnt down. This archive compiles all available resources to build a lasting tribute to all the men and women who helped - any unit, any nationality. If you have a relative, or any info, on the relief effort at Belsen, we’d love you to please get in touch. Email us: liberator@belsen.co.uk – Thank you Nick Price Creatives • Facebook • Twitter •
