I don't know if you've seen this before, Tramp, it's a real archive find. Saunders interviewing David Jones in 1965. Wales' two literary giants of the twentieth century in conversation.

David Jones lived on his nerves, as becomes immediately apparent. If you have ever wondered what lasting effect the Battle of the Somme had on survivors then look no further.

Quite possibly? His old house has been turned into a museum. You can go see the chair close-up if the fancy takes you. Beautiful part of the world too.
