Details of Event
Fall of roof. Assistance was soon at hand but eight men had to be procured before the stone could be removed and it was then found that the unfortunate man was dead. He won the Military Medal for bravery and was afterwards the recipient of a presentation from the Bannockburn Hero's Fund. An unmarried man, he took a keen interest in the welfare of the village and was Secretary of the Bannockburn Quoiting Club. (Stirling Observer).
