Bell, Walter

Walter Bell is the father of Mrs. Sue Brownlee, a Crestwood Staff member. As a member of Britain’s Royal Artillery in World War Two, Mr. Bell began training in England, before heading to Freetown, Sierra Leone to train African troops. He eventually took his trained troops and headed to Burma, where he fought for Britain against the Japanese, until the end of the war. In January 2015, he sat down with Mrs. Brownlee and Crestwood student Danielle Gionnas to share his experiences.
