Spr. Bernard Charles Cambers

Royal Engineers 560th Field Company

from:Bedford

(d.19th Oct 1939)

Sapper Bernard Cambers and two other were killed whilst laying mines on the beach at Great Yarmouth to protect our shores from invasion on 19th of October 1939, he was just 19 years old. We now have a plaque on Gt Yarmouth racecourse in memory of them and also two others who were killed in a separate incident. Sadly after the war many more were killed lifting the mines as tides and weather conditions had moved the mines and were no longer in the mapped places.
