Hello List
I have further updated my page showing the list of recipients of the Edward
VII medal (Mines).
My thanks to Dave Banks for details of the Townhead Mine disaster
(Cumberland) - his account can be accessed by the link against the name of
CAIRNS, John.
My thanks also to John Greasley for pointing me to www.haigpit.com. The
page www.haig1.freeserve.co.uk/page46.html has considerable detail of the
Wellington pit disaster of 1910. For this disaster alone two 1st class and
sixty four 2nd class medals were awarded.
If anyone else can supply information about any of the disasters listed I
would appreciate contact. All information received will assist me in the
compilation of my book dedicated to the heroes of mines rescue.
Regards
Phil Clifford
