Cardiff, Wales, UK - 1/2/1941

In Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom, a rescue party dug for six hours to rescue a six-year-old child trapped under the staircase where he had taken shelter from German bombing. Throughout the rescue the child was heard singing "God Save the King". He later explained that his father, a coal miner, had told him that when men were buried underground they kept singing to guide the rescuers, and this was the only tune that he knew the words.

Thanks for that, I suppose the lad sang it in the Welsh langue or nobody would understand him. MJ
