LLAIS 8th APRIL 1916 Home from the firing line this week, Sergeant Major Tom Sloley of the Royal Scots: Sergeant Major Slowly has had rapid promotion, joining the colours at the outbreak of war as a private. LLAIS 23rd JUNE 1917 SERGEANT MAJOR TOM SLOLEY The good news has been received that Sergeant Major Sloley, of one of the Scottish regiments, has been recommended for the DCM. The details of the gallant act that brought the award are not yet to hand. Prior to joining he lived at St. David’s Road Ystalyfera and was employed at the Tirbach Colliery. Sergeant Major Sloley, who has had rapid promotion, having enlisted as a private, has been through most of the big engagements in France. CAMBRIAN DAILY LEADER 24th JULY 1917 THE DCM FOR BRAVERY Sergeant Major Thomas James Sloley of Ystalyfera joined a Scottish Regiment at the outbreak of war as a private and has served in France for over two and a half years. He has taken part in many of the most important battles and has escaped unscathed so far. He has been awarded the DCM for bravery and been recommended for a commission on the field. He leaves Ystalyfera on the 30th inst to join the OTC. Previous to the war he was employed as a stoker at the Tirbach Colliery Ystalyfera. Mr Sloley, who is 29 years of age and unmarried has been warmly congratulated locally, as he is the first Ystalyfera boy to bring this distinction to the place. LLAIS 15th JUNE 1918 C S M Tom John Sloley DCM of the 9th Battn M G C (Scottish Division), son of Mrs Joseph Davies, St David’s Road, has been awarded a bar to his DCM for conspicuous gallantry in the field. The official record states that: “CSM Sloley was awarded the bar for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty at La Clytte on 25th April. When company headquarters and details were heavily shelled and severe casualties inflicted, CSM Sloley and two others rescued wounded, bandaged them under heavy fire, with absolute disregard of personal danger, CMS Sloley being himself slightly wounded.” It is to be hoped that when he returns Ystalyfera people will give him a fitting public reception. LLAIS 21st SEPTEMBER 1918 Company Sergeant Major Thomas John Stoley DCM of the MGC has again been home on leave for a second time receiving his distinction. No public reception has yet been accorded this hero and it is hardly to the credit that the oversight is intentional. The public has left the matter of giving local lads a worthy reception in the hands of the Reception Committee and has always given every support to any movement inaugurated for the replenishing of the funds. In view of this fact, it is certainly pertinent to ask why this hero has not been given a reception worthy of the distinction he has so nobly won.
