CSM John Alfred Bedwin

British Army 5th Battalion Cameron Highlanders

from:Wandsworth

My father joined the Territorial Army in 1938 (24/10/1938) - Royal Engineers and eventually ended up as a Company Sergeant Major in the 5th Battalion Cameron Highlanders being de-mobbed in 1946 (21/01/1946). Whilst with the Cameron Highlanders he took part in many offensives including the Falaise operation, Goodwood, and on into Germany which included a bayonet charge.

He told me that he was taken to Belsen after its liberation but did not talk any more than that about it.
