A crowed smoker was held at the Castle Hotel, Ammanford, on Friday evening last, to give a send-off to Private Thos. Remington, of the Seaforth Highlanders, who was home on short leave from the Front.
Councillor Bob Thomas presided, and Mr. Evan John Evans was at the piano. Those taking part were : Mr. D. Davies, Mountain Ash House; Mr. Sam Thomas and Mr. A. Thomas, Bettws; Mr. Thos. (Dafen) Davies (reciter); Mr. J. Morris, Llandebie (step-dancer); Mr. Jack Thomas and Mr. T. Thomas, Walter Road; and Mr. Tom Wigley, Bettws.
A collection was made in the room, as the result of which a nice sum of money was handed to Private Remington, who thanked the company for the reception given him, but he was unable to say much owing to the loss of his pal, Private Jerrison, who had been killed.
