21 October 1915: On Thursday afternoon Mr David Baird, under manager, Glencraig Colliery, met with an accident in the course of his duties. He was caught between a race of hutches and a bar and was rendered unconscious. He soon after recovered sufficiently to proceed home, where he was attended by Dr Todd, who diagnosed severe bruises to chest and back. [Dunfermline Journal 23 October 1915]
