Re: ABERFAN - my memories
Well I was 8 years old when it happened so was not directly involved in it saw it all on the tv but as an 8 year old couldn't really take it all in.However in our street we had a Police House and the PC living there at the time was a Great bloke called Mostyn Evans always cheerful and got on well with all the kids remember him going down to Aberfan in the morning returning at night covered in mud and then repeating it day after day I take my hat off to all those people who helped down there and it's only now much later in life I realise how much heart ache it must have caused the people who lived and helped with the rescue.God bless them all gone but not forgotten

Re: ABERFAN - my memories
John Williams, (Will 40) from the Caernarfon Branch, recently attended the anniversary of the tragic events at Aberfan, he recalls that his trg. platoon, Korea, and Palestine Platoon at Cwrt-Y-Gollen was called out during that fateful day in October 1966, John attended the Memorial garden of remembrance with our Standard, and would like to thank Mr and Mrs B. Wheeler for laying a spray of flowers on behalf of the Caernarfon Branch, although a sad time, he would also like to thank everyone for the warm welcome he received, and the emotional reunion with past Comrades of 1966.
