Jack Jones was born in Merthyr Tydfil in 1884. He left school at twelve to work with his father as a miner. His political engagement saw him act for the Miners Federation; join the Communist Party, then Labour. He stood as Liberal candidate for Neath in 1929. Married with five children, he earned a living through mining, as a platform-speaker, navvy, salesman, assistant cinema-manager and writer. In 1948 he was made a CBE, and in 1968 he was elected first president of the English section of Yr Academi Gymreig.
