F/Lt. Iorwerth "Ted" Bellis DFC.
Royal Air Force 21 Squadron
from:MOLD
I don't know too much about my father, Ted Bellis. He never told us too much, although I know he suffered what is is now termed as post-traumatic stress disorder, for many years after the war. He was part of the Aarhus Gestapo headquarter raid and received a letter and cuff links from the Danish resistance thanking him for his participation. He also flew with Ted Pennell, navigator, who sustained a serious leg injury during a raid with my father resulting in the loss of the limb.
True heroes for whom I have the ultimate respect. If anyone knew of them I'd love to see or read any stories.
Editor's Note:- There were 2 raids on the Gestapo Headquarters, at Aarhus. The first was on 31st October 1944 and the second (Operation Carthage) was on the 21st March 1945.
