Pte. Bernard Hellings
British Army 2nd Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment
from:Falmouth
My great-grandad, Bernard Hellings was blown up in the battle for Caen. He woke up in an army casualty hospital in Normandy and was sent back to a hospital in Nottingham, England, where he was treated for shellshock. He was then sent to the South African P.O.W. repatriation unit in Hove, and then to Berechurch Hall in Colchester.
