BRYNAMMAN
[...]
At home, spending a well-deserved respite, is the naval hero, A.B. Aneurin Jones, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Jones, Cwmgarw Road. He was on H.M.S. King Edward VII. when it was torpedoed, and is now on leave consequent upon the H.M.S. Daybreak having been sunk in a similar manner. He was one of the ten survivors, and was rescued after floating on a raft for a great many hours. He has stirring episodes to relate. Considering his trying experiences, he looks pretty well, but requires rest and change to recover from the effects of shock and exposure.
