0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Good luck to you!
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- As we look forward to Christmas, - we should remember the sacrifices...
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- ..made by our forefathers - a century ago.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- Christmas on the front line in 1916 - was a horrendous experience...
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- ..with the First World War - at its most brutal.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- The National Waterfront Museum - in Swansea has an exhibition...
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- ..about the contribution made - by Welsh miners digging tunnels.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43- Rhodri has the story.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- If you imagine the horrors of life - in the trenches...
0:11:47 > 0:11:53- ..imagine the hellish lives - of tunnelling under those trenches.
0:11:57 > 0:12:03- This was the reality for 50,000 and - more miners and British soldiers...
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- ..during World War I.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Miners were important - on the Home Front...
0:12:11 > 0:12:16- ..because they needed coal to power - the steam boats and factories...
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- ..so that the country - was ready for war.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- They noticed the need for skilled - workers from Welsh coal mines...
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- ..to build trenches and tunnels - for the war.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36- Over 250,000 Welshmen joined - the army and many were miners.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42- Soldiers from Monmouthshire were - the first to undertake this work.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- We think of the trenches - and running across No Man's Land...
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- ..whilst people were digging - underneath No Man's Land.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- It's a Medieval practice when - people tunnelled under castles.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- It wasn't a new method of warfare...
0:12:59 > 0:13:04- ..but was reintroduced when the war - grinded to a halt in the trenches.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09- A lot of soldiers thought it would - be an adventure with friends...
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- ..and welcomed the idea - of working on the Front.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- I'm sure the reality struck hard.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23- Yes, and especially after their - first Christmas on the Front.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34- This time a century ago, there was - no romance or adventure in war.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- The Battle of the Somme - had just come to an end...
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- ..but Arras and Passchendaele - were still to come.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- There's that famous Christmas - from World War I in 1914...
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- ..when the soldiers played football - and exchanged food.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59- After two years of fighting, - these people were real enemies.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- The Germans - were not their friends...
0:14:03 > 0:14:08- ..and there were orders to prevent - such an incident.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13- The suggestions that the war was - more relaxed for Christmas 1914...
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- ..are certainly untrue - of the Christmas of a century ago.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23- By Christmas 1916, the Welsh miners - faced an added danger.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29- There was no sense of comradery - under the trenches either!
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- The Germans - were following a similar method.
0:14:34 > 0:14:40- There were many incidents where - the two tunnels met underground...
0:14:41 > 0:14:45- ..and fighting broke out - with knives and knuckledusters.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- The fighting - was awful on the surface...
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- ..but fighting in a claustrophobic - environment was horrific.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59- The miners were paid more - because of the added dangers...
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- ..and they earned their wage.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- In a series of explosions - in June 1917...
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- ..they caused the death - of 10,000 Germans.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16- It's believed that Lloyd George - heard these explosions in London!
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- We can still see the effects - of this horrific war to this day.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- The trenches remain - in many parts of France...
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- ..but so do the craters - caused by the explosions.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- The biggest is at Messines - and was caused in June 1917.
0:15:38 > 0:15:44- The physical scars are a reminder of - the efficiency of the Welsh miners.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- They changed the nature - of the country...
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- ..but also changed history...
0:15:53 > 0:15:58- ..with their important contribution - to the victory of the Allies.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- The exhibition - runs until the end of January.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59- There's the old favourites.
