Ernest Oliver was in the Colliery Band of the Ty Mawr Colliery, Hopkinstown, Nr Pontypridd. He enlisted and apparently as a musician, he became a stretcher bearer. He is buried at Dantzig Alley British Cemetery, Mametz. France.
His brother Albert died just a few miles away, doing the same job, for the same reasons I understand, three days earlier.
