:00:00. > :00:08.Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines: 16-year-old soldiers.
:00:09. > :00:17.These teenagers are preparing for the army. The call tonight to raise
:00:18. > :00:24.the recruitment age to 18. I am ready now and I am mentally and
:00:25. > :00:31.physically ready but I would be hard to motivate myself. I have good
:00:32. > :00:35.qualifications which will also help me in the army but there is not that
:00:36. > :00:45.much around employment wise for people my age.

:00:51. > :00:54.Hospital. The inquest hears she wasn't given medication quickly
:00:55. > :00:58.enough after surgery. A call for low-paid workers to get a
:00:59. > :01:02.living wage to save the economy millions. But can businesses here
:01:03. > :01:05.afford it? One of the country's biggest private
:01:06. > :01:13.landlords says his company could be at risk as tenants' struggle to cope
:01:14. > :01:18.with benefit changes. In sport: And all the build-up to
:01:19. > :01:22.the first autumn international. One coach says a win against South
:01:23. > :01:26.Africa would be one of Wales' best results.
:01:27. > :01:32.Good evening. 16-year-olds can't drive or buy alcohol, but they can
:01:33. > :01:35.join the Army. A policy that should change according to the bishops at
:01:36. > :01:39.the Church in Wales. They're backing a campaign to up the recruitment age
:01:40. > :01:44.of soldiers to 18 and have signed a letter to the Ministry of Defence.
:01:45. > :01:47.But the UK government says a military career offers many benefits
:01:48. > :01:55.to young recruits. Natasha Llewelyn reports.
:01:56. > :02:01.At the age of 16, Army recruits are preparing for this: Life on the
:02:02. > :02:05.front line. They can't be deployed until they are 18 but they are still
:02:06. > :02:10.trained to fight wars. That training can start at military training
:02:11. > :02:18.colleges like this one in the Heads of the Valleys. Around 40 youngsters
:02:19. > :02:23.aged 16 and 17 come here five times a week. They usually spend a year at
:02:24. > :02:29.the college before joining the Army. It was a big decision to make but
:02:30. > :02:33.looking at my options, I have good confiscations, which will also help
:02:34. > :02:39.me in the Army, there are not that many things around employment wise
:02:40. > :02:47.for people my age. I would be gutted if it got taken
:02:48. > :02:50.back to 18. I feel physically and mentally ready and it would be hard
:02:51. > :02:53.to motivate myself. A job would be hard to come by.
:02:54. > :03:00.I think my fitness would have dropped. South Wales has always been
:03:01. > :03:07.a good recruitment ground because of the high level of unemployment.

:03:13. > :03:18.recruitment of under 18 's -- the Ministry of Defence to end the
:03:19. > :03:22.recruitment of under-18s. I don't think that people joining and 16 are
:03:23. > :03:28.more likely to end up as one of those statistics, it really doesn't
:03:29. > :03:32.matter what age you join the army, you are exposed to the same
:03:33. > :03:36.environment. I know that if you join at 16 years
:03:37. > :03:43.old, in the military you are not exposed to any type of combat
:03:44. > :03:48.environment until you are 18. But the Church in Wales say 16 is too
:03:49. > :03:51.young. Are they really aware of the rigours
:03:52. > :03:56.of the training that would be involved? And what might actually
:03:57. > :04:01.face them were said to be deployed to a combat zone at the age of 18?
:04:02. > :04:03.The question is whether they are ready for it physically and,
:04:04. > :04:09.possibly more importantly, psychologically?
:04:10. > :04:16.But they don't have to stay. Figures from the MoD show that across the
:04:17. > :04:20.UK, just under the 1000 16-year-old were recruited to the Army in 2012.
:04:21. > :04:28.Almost half of them left during training. Somebody who didn't leave
:04:29. > :04:33.was Lloyd Rees. He signed up at 16 and stayed in the Armed Forces for
:04:34. > :04:37.many years. His brother joined at 18 but Lloyd says he was better off
:04:38. > :04:41.starting younger. I am not an academic at all but the army opened
:04:42. > :04:46.up a whole new world for me. It gave me all the verification is

:05:33. > :05:37.first of all of what happened? When Elizabeth Maddocks was admitted
:05:38. > :05:40.in February, she was looking forward to the birth of her daughter and the
:05:41. > :05:46.fact she was getting married in December that year. Less than 24
:05:47. > :05:50.hours after she underwent an emergency Caesarean and her daughter
:05:51. > :05:54.was born safe and well, she died of a blood clot. It was heard at the
:05:55. > :05:59.inquest that surgeons had recommended she be given some
:06:00. > :06:02.anti-clotting medication within six hours of the operation, about midday
:06:03. > :06:07.on the day that she died. That wasn't administered until more than
:06:08. > :06:11.12 hours later because a chart that had the drugs she was needing had
:06:12. > :06:18.gone missing. She complained about her legs swelling but was told that
:06:19. > :06:21.was normal after the operation. She died during the early hours of the
:06:22. > :06:30.following morning and her family were devastated. Her partner issued
:06:31. > :06:34.a statement today. We know that the health board has taken certain steps
:06:35. > :06:38.to try to reduce the chances of any other women dying in circumstances
:06:39. > :06:41.such as this. We also note that the coroner is
:06:42. > :06:49.making enquiries into other issues which the health board will address
:06:50. > :06:53.at the hearing. We feel strongly that had Elizabeth received the
:06:54. > :06:57.care, her death would have been avoided.
:06:58. > :07:01.What conclusions did the coroner reach?
:07:02. > :07:05.Some of the evidence we heard from the medical teams. If she had been
:07:06. > :07:10.given this medicine slightly earlier, it may not have had an
:07:11. > :07:14.impact. The plot may have been to well formed and impervious to this
:07:15. > :07:17.kind of anti-clotting medication. Nonetheless, there were certain

:07:29. > :07:31.recommendations to make sure this kind of thing didn't happen to
:07:32. > :07:36.anyone else and as you learn from that statement, the family and
:07:37. > :07:39.friends of Elizabeth Maddocks working to make sure that didn't

:17:33. > :17:35.to beat Southern Hemisphere sides on the way and I think you have to do
:17:36. > :17:41.that before rather than during. That is why it is key to us to do it over
:17:42. > :17:47.the next few weeks. Wales lost unexpectedly in the opening week of

:18:17. > :18:19.understand it is important to move forward and get results against
:18:20. > :18:23.these teams. No question of a slow start by South

:19:17. > :19:26.Swans advance to the knock-out stages. They host Stoke in the
:19:27. > :19:31.Premier League on Sunday. We will try everything that we can
:19:32. > :19:35.to win again because it is the first Premier League game after we lost

:20:25. > :20:26.thoughts will turn once again to remembrance with services in
:20:27. > :20:31.villages, towns and cities across the country. They'll recall the
:20:32. > :20:34.sacrifice made in all conflicts. As preparations get underway to mark
:20:35. > :20:38.next year's centenary of the start of the First World War, Roger Pinney
:20:39. > :20:43.tells the story of one young man who never came home to Wales.
:20:44. > :20:52.A freshfaced young man, eager to do his best. Tom Williams was proud to
:20:53. > :20:56.be in uniform at last. He volunteered, lying about his age to
:20:57. > :20:59.get in. A soldier who must have travelled to the Western front with
:21:00. > :21:05.excitement and perhaps some doubt about what lay ahead. Like so many,
:21:06. > :21:08.he never came back. I do think about him. His story
:21:09. > :21:16.tells the story for everyone else, really. The home he left behind is
:21:17. > :21:22.just around the corner of a war memorial that bears his name.
:21:23. > :21:25.His niece passes it most days as she lives in the village. Almost a
:21:26. > :21:30.century but a generation removed from her ankle's sacrifice. They
:21:31. > :21:33.must have all done the same thing and their families must have gone
:21:34. > :21:38.through the same pain and anguish when they lost them.
:21:39. > :21:43.Tom Williams died in 1917, during the first days of the battleship --
:21:44. > :21:48.and I'll -- the battle of Passchendaele. The grave of so many
:21:49. > :21:52.of his colleagues are now in the war cemeteries which. The battlefield
:21:53. > :21:54.but Tom Williams has no headstone. His body was never found. He is
:21:55. > :22:08.remembered here. At this late, the last Post ceremony
:22:09. > :22:12.is a ritual laid out every night of the year. The gate is the memorial
:22:13. > :22:19.to the missing. 56,000 of those who have no known grave. With the help
:22:20. > :22:25.of fulfilled historian Erwin, I found his name in amongst so many
:22:26. > :22:29.other Williamses who served like him in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. What
:22:30. > :22:35.hope now that his body might be found?
:22:36. > :22:40.There is always a slight chance we find every year a number of bodies
:22:41. > :22:44.and very occasionally, a body is identified. It is very rare and it
:22:45. > :22:47.doesn't happen very often. There are still so many bodies out there which
:22:48. > :22:55.have never had a proper grave. You cannot remain untouched by this
:22:56. > :22:59.story. The parents of Tom Williams received a letter of condolence from
:23:00. > :23:03.the King and it is kept with letters from the front.
:23:04. > :23:08.The family has kept mementos of Tom Williams. This was his swagger
:23:09. > :23:14.stick, the regimental insignia of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. This
:23:15. > :23:19.letter was sent just two weeks before he died. In it he asks for
:23:20. > :23:24.some home comforts to be sent out, some cake and cigarettes. Then there
:23:25. > :23:29.is this one a short while later. It says he is missing in action and a
:23:30. > :23:33.little while after that, the family received this letter, informing them
:23:34. > :23:37.that he had been killed. As my mother got older, she used to tell
:23:38. > :23:41.us things about having the one brother and how Tom was killed when
:23:42. > :23:45.he was very young. He was the only boy in the family,
:23:46. > :23:50.which was a bit of a tragedy for my Nana. The stories I've had are
:23:51. > :23:55.really from these letters that I found which, I think, tell me about
:23:56. > :24:01.him, rather than just having the photographs. I can think about him
:24:02. > :24:06.as a real person and what a brave young man he was, really.
:24:07. > :24:11.And the story of Tom Williams speaks for his generation. A generation
:24:12. > :24:13.which gave so much. And the sacrifice which in places like
:24:14. > :24:15.Afghanistan continues to this day. Roger Pinney reporting.
:24:16. > :24:18.And the Rememberance Sunday commemorations will be televised
:24:19. > :24:25.live from the Cenotaph in Whitehall from 10:20pm on BBC One.
:24:26. > :24:30.Let's get this weekend's weather forecast now with Sue Charles.
