EDITORS COMMENTS
Aneurin Bevan 1897-1960 pictured in August 1945. Born in Tredegar, Monmouthshire, Bevan's journey from a young colliery worker to a prominent politician is truly remarkable. Starting work at the age of 13 in Tytryst colliery, he quickly rose through the ranks and became chairman of his Lodge by the age of 19. His determination and intellect earned him a scholarship to attend the Central Labour College in London. As an active member of the Labour Party, Bevan was elected as MP for Ebbw Vale in 1929. Throughout his career, he passionately campaigned against fascism and even toured Spain during the Spanish Civil War, which resulted in a temporary expulsion from his own party. In 1946, Bevan took on the role of Minister for Health and played a pivotal role in establishing our beloved National Health Service (NHS). His vision and unwavering dedication transformed healthcare accessibility for millions across Britain. This photo captures Aneurin Bevan at the end of World War II - an era that shaped history forever. With its serious yet determined expression, this portrait reflects both his commitment to public service and political acumen. A true icon of British politics during the mid-20th century, Aneurin Bevan left an indelible mark on society that continues to be felt today.
