His Majesty the King has been pleased to award the Edward Medal of the Second Class to Mr. Llewellyn Williams.
On 21st December, 1910, an explosion occurred at the No. 3 Bank Pit of the Hulton Colliery by which 344 persons lost their lives. The first-rescue party, all the members of which have already been awarded the Edward Medal in recognition of their bravery in attempting, at great risk, to rescue their comrades, were met at the Trencherbone inset by Mr. Llewellyn Williams, Under Manager of the Trencherbone Mine, who, though suffering severely from the shock of the explosion, did not return to the surface, but accompanied the others into the workings and took an active part in the rescue operations until the day was well advanced.
