Emlyn Jones having back scrubbed by wife Agnes in Tynewydd in 1948.

This picture originally appeared in a national daily newspaper along with an article about coping with post-war soap shortage. As a result, the Jones' were inundated with parcels of soap from as far a field as the Yukon and USA.

When I was a young lad in the late 1950's and early 1960's I can remember rushing to my granparents so that I could wash my Grancha's back when he came off shift.
