My brother, William Joseph Gibbs, was a dispatch rider in the Army, in his early twenties. The horrors of the war made a very deep impression on him. It started when his mate, a lovely man, stood on a mine. It blew him to pieces. This was when he was over in Germany. Then his sergeant-major sent him to help when Belsen was opened up. The sights he saw there upset him very much. He saw women having babies on dirty mattresses, screaming with pain - there was no medical attention in the camp. It was ever so difficult for a young man. He was there a long time - there was a lot to do. When they were fit to move they took them out of Belsen. Some of them didn't survive. He talked about it all the time: he never ever got over it.
