Govilon Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2007 09:31:03 EDT Prior to joining the Welsh Guards in 1925, at the age of 18, my father's employment was described as a 'Collier's Assistant'. Would anyone know what duties this job may have entailed, apart from working at the coal face? Additionally, where in the vicinity of Govilon was he likely to have been employed?
