“Very Different “

Very different from colliery work,” says William Tout, when asked about his life in the Pioneer Corps.

Son of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Tout, of 20, George Street, Low Valley, he joined the Army 12 months ago. Since then he has gained weight and feels better than be ever felt in his life. He was on leave recently and looked up many of his Low Valley pals.
