Milan ('Mel') Copic, aged 17, who came to the South Wales coalfield from Croatia.
"Personally I was never asked where I wanted to go, just had a medical, and was brought over to Britain and given a pound pocket money and a cup of tea." "As it was unfortunately, war came and everything turned to ashes. All of us, Czechs, Poles, Slaves, all scattered because of the war".
