The middle lady in this picture is my Great grandmother. The baby in the shawl is my grandfather named Douglas Garrett. He would of been 18months in the picture. The photograph is called 'waiting for news' One of the women in the picture unfortunately lost her husband. My Great Grandfather survived this disaster of marine colliery in Cwm but died a few years later to illness.
