The gravedigger at Aberfan Cemetery, 1966

Description

The gravedigger. He'd spent a lifetime burying the sick and the elderly but never in his dreams could he have imagined this. One hundred and forty-four souls laid to rest. Seeing the broken families standing helplessly over the mass graves, trying to tell their little ones they were sorry that they could not save them.
