PRICE OF COAL
PRICE OF COAL
They were carried here
The dead , dying and injured
Then gently washed and tendered
Walls still whispering
With soft voices of nurses and doctors
The brave cries of wounded men
In ----- the medical room

BIG PIT , Blaenavon , South Wales
In this room was a bath, with a sling –where the men were washed , before treatment.
Sights and sounds ,here must have been harrowing at times.
My own Great Grandfather died in a roof fall – coroner’s verdict – “ broken back -accident “
He was 58 – still working underground., in 1938
