Gareth Richard Vaughan Jones was a journalist born in Barry, South Wales in 1905. He investigated and reported on the soviet famine between 1932-33 using his own name. His quest to find the truth and shine a spotlight on hardships is thought to be the reason he was eventually kidnapped and murdered at just 29 years old.
