Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Private headstone in Hartshill Cemetery, Staffordshire of Bertram Brealey, who died in 2012, aged 91.
Today (3 December 2013) a lady spoke to me while visiting her late husband's grave. She said he was (rank not remembered) No 114726 Bertram Clayton Brealey of the Oxfordshire Yeomanry. He took part in the liberation of Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp, being in the crew of the first Allied tank to reach the camp. She said when he was at the camp the women came forward asking for milk for their babies and he could see that many of the babies they carried were dead, a memory he never lost. On April 15th 1945, 249 (Oxfordshire Yeomanry) battery of the 63rd Anti-Tank Regiment Royal Artillery liberated the camp at 2.30pm. Lt Colonel Dick Taylor ordered his men to enter the camp with a loudspeaker van.
