Extract from a series of "War Stories"

"A MINING PIONEER
Since his return to civil life Pte battison has followed the calling of a miner and he claims a unique experience in connection with the inauguration of Ormonde Colliery at loscoe, for he it was who first struck coal"

Athur is my grandfather's brother.
