Marion Smith did an article on Trinity Nitre Cave and it included the name of my great-great-grandfather on the payrolls, and I bought his book also. I live only a few minutes from where he worked and that has been an amazing discovery for us. I am sharing your article with my relatives who are participating in our genealogy research, and your article gives insight into what it was like foim. The year conscription up to age 40 was made law was the year he went to work in the cave. I noticed you have no comments posted so I thought I should let
