After the war Thomas Hector Rees wrote an account of his 'adventures and experiences in the Great War', running from his enlistment at Caerphilly on 7 September 1914 through to the end of the war (although the account ends abruptly in mid-sentence). He describes his time serving in the Royal Army Service Corps, looking after the horses on the Western Front. After the war, he returned to his old job as a miner, but he died aged 48 of lung disease.
