Morning Phil
I have come across a piece in the Dean Forest Mercury for the 2nd September
1955 on the FoD Mines Rescue team with some photos of practice etc.
Mentions that A.B. was in charge and also that he was involved in the
Minnie pit rescue.
Interested? If so I will scan the text and try and also get something off
the photographs.
I also have a piece on the Arthur & Edward rescue. When I can find it again
[!] I will copy that also.
Ian
