Details of Event
20 December 1924: Kelty Boy's Death – Killed By Fall of Stone - Mr Thomas Bauld, who was formerly a manager of one of the Kelty Collieries, has lost his eldest son, Robert, as the result of an accident in the Aitken Pit, Kelty. A small piece of stone fell on the young lad, inflicting a slight cut on his arm, but septic poisoning set in, and the lad has passed away. Robert was 18 years of age, and only entered the mines recently. He was a Dunfermline High School pupil, and a member until recently of the 1st school rugby team.
