Can we please get the title of these people correct once and for all, they were BEVIN boys named after the Minister of Labour in the Wartime Government Ernest Bevin, and not after the Welsh Labour MP and prominent left wing socialist Aneurin Bevan.

My Uncle became a bevin boy as he had previously had TB and was turned down for the services and sent to the mines, lungs not good enough but okay to go down a mine. Unbelievable!!

About par for the course at that time. I worked in a loco depot on the railway, we had one driver who after being gassed in WW1 had eventually been taken off the main line because of his breathing problems. Guess where he was accomodated, dropping engine fires on the ashpit. He did survive to retirment age, but died soon after. What a mind set they had?
