George Evans had been working underground as a miner for three
years when he volunteered for the British Army in 1944. He was
eighteen years old. The train from Banwen across the mountains to
the Brecon barracks was the first stage of a remarkable journey
that would take him across the world and propel him into one of the
last major campaigns of World War 11. Where the Flying Fishes Play
is a record of that time in a young man's life when the world holds
endless possibilities. It is a moving story of comradeship with his
fellow soldiers, and an account of his own widening of horizons
through travel across oceans and continents filled with the danger
and the romance of a war that would change his life.
Coming back home from the Far East after years serving in Burma,
George Brinley Evans returns to his home in Banwen, Dulais Valley,
South Wales, to find that the ex-servicemen are being treated as
traitors - 'Churchill's army' - by the ferociously Communist
self-appointed commissars of the local colliery. But that's not all
George has on his plate. There's the fish and chip shop, the ice
cream round, the Billiard Hall, the boxing club, Saturday afternoon
football in bombed-out Swansea, and getting enough black market
coupons off Jack Bach the butcher's wife to buy a suit and marry
beautiful, dark-haired Peggy the Papers. As a painter, George has
been praised for 'just painting what he sees', and this book is an
astonishingly clear-eyed look back over a long lifetime in one
community. Conversations fifty or sixty years ago, tales of drunken
colliers and runaway ponies, births and deaths, trips to London and
Cardiff, all are remembered and told with vivid clarity and
directness.
Examining the relationships between families, coal-mining
colleagues, and soldiers at war, this collection of seven short
stories features several tales set against the
partly-autobiographical backdrop of the author's life as a coal
miner in the Neath Valley and as a soldier in Burma during World
War Two. Also included is an essay on writer B. L. Coombes.
