From Llanelli to the woolsack: the Welsh Lord Chancellor Elwyn Jones was born in Llanelli in 1909, the son of a rollerman in the Old Castle steel works. He read Law at Aberystwyth and Cambridge. As a very young man in the 1930s, he spent time with a friend in Germany and soon realised what was happening there. After World War II he was involved with the British prosecution team at Nuremburg for the trial of the Nazi leaders. He eventually reached the highest post in his profession as Lord Chancellor under a Labour government. He died in 1989.
