"Hi
Alan,
Your pictures brought back
so many memories.
I was a young ordinary
seaman on board HMS.Tiger which was visiting Cardiff car
docks on the day.
We all volunteered as a man
to help.
I still have the Sunday
People centre pages picture showing the village bobby
carrying little Susan down the corrugated mud slide we had
built to help remove the coal slag.
My picture is just over the
right shoulder of the policeman (left side on picture) I am
wearing a ships boiler suit,we took thousands of pounds
worth of clothing,field hospital,field kitchen etc with us.
I remember the Sunday,even
though it was strict chapel,the pubs opened to give everyone
of us volunteers a half pint of beer as a thank you.
Thanks for putting your
pics there
Aberfan still in my prayers
