Arthur Bell's Life-saving Bibles
Arthur Bell (d.1972) served in France with the Coldstream Guards. His bibles saved him from serious shrapnel wounds. Whilst he was saved from serious injury he nonetheless suffered wounds and was evacuated to the UK in c.1916. He then returned to serve on the Western Front until 1918. Arthur had two brothers and two sisters, all of whom survived the war. He was bombed during WWII in Coventry, but survived.
