Early life

Born Robert Hugh Bellamy, he was educated at Sherborne School, a British boys' independent school, and then at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst.

Military career

After passing out from Sandhurst, Bellamy was commissioned as a second lieutenant into the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry on 28 August 1930.[1] He was promoted to lieutenant on 29 August 1930.[2] He served in the Battle of France with the 2nd Battalion, DCLI, in 1940 and was mentioned in despatches for his services in December.[3] He was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1943 and served in Northwest Europe during 1944 and 1945, as Commanding Officer (CO) of the 1st Battalion, Royal Norfolk Regiment, which he had been promoted to command in October 1943. Bellamy commanded the battalion during the D-Day landings and the subsequent Battle of Normandy and the Northwest Europe Campaign.

Bellamy was promoted to brigadier in January 1945 and took over command of 6th Airlanding Brigade, part of 6th Airborne Division. He commanded the Brigade during Operation Varsity, the air assault landing over the Rhine on 24 March 1945, and during the advance across Germany to the Baltic. He was awarded a Bar to his DSO on 10 October 1945.[4] Bellamy remained in command of 6th Airlanding Brigade following its move to Palestine in 1945 and was mentioned in despatches again. He commanded the 2nd Parachute Brigade in Palestine and the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) from 1946 to 1948. He was Deputy Director of Weapons Development at the War Office from 1950 to 1952. He was Deputy General Officer Commanding Hong Kong and General Officer Commanding 40th Infantry Division from 1954 to 1956. Bellamy was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1956. He was Chief of Staff, 1 Corps (BAOR) from 1956 to 1958. He retired from the British Army in 1958, and lived in Belgravia, London.

He married Kathleen Louisa Isabel Lascelles in 1940 with whom he was to have one son and one daughter. The marriage was dissolved in 1953.

Brigadier Hugh Bellamy died on 27 November 1972.
