Details of Event
22 May 1917: Wm. Menzies, 145 Union Street, machineman, while following his employment in Foulford Pit, was caught by a fall from the roof on Tuesday. His fellow workmen went for assistance, and with difficulty the stone was removed and Menzies liberated. He was examined by Dr Young, who ordered his removal to the Dunfermline and West Fife Hospital, where he was found to be suffering from severe injuries to the back and legs.
