Thank's for your kind words Benny. Two of them were big friends of mine and it has indeed been a sad day for the Swansea Valley.

A very sad time indeed. I worked in the mines before I joined the Army and aware of dangers the profession holds. Indeed, I have also lost pals and a relative to the mines.
To echo Benny's sentiments, my thoughts and sympathy go out to all relatives and friends.

A sad day for Wales and a sad day for the Swansea Valley. God bless and protect their families.

Mogs22 reminds me of the verse:

'Old miners speak; not to complain, each one recalls those with more pain, we're the lucky ones: is their belief, the friends we lost caused far more grief'
