Whilst I don't think he fought at Mametz Wood, my Great Grandfather Stephen Jones fought in WWI at Gallipoli and was taken prisoner at some point. We know that he fought with the South Wales Borderers, who did feature at the Battle of Mametz Wood.

Unfortunately, we don't have his records, as it is believed they were destroyed during the Blitz when an enormous amount of WWI records were lost. I would love to know more about him, as sadly he died when my grandmother was very young and…

Currently feeling very young and inexperienced. 

I haven't even graduated from my final year of University and I'm already working on a professional production as the Assistant Director. These first couple of days have been a chance for me to settle in and get used to the working environment and the way that everyone works. 

Thankfully, I really like the play and can't wait to work on it more. It is entirely insane, with so many different characters and only four actors, which…
