Black Watch veteran recalls the horrors of Monte Cassino
326A previously unpublished audio recording of a Second World War veteran recounting his time fighting in one of the bloodiest battles of the Italian campaign has been uncovered.
During World War Two, Arthur Helps was an infantry signaller in the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) when his battalion took part in the battle to capture Monte Cassino.
Two years prior to his death in 2000, Mr Helps visited a school in York, where he lived, and spoke to the children about his time in Italy.
Audio recorded by one of his daughters who was at the school has finally been uncovered.
