14 February 1915: Accident At Bowhill - While engaged in No.2 Pit, Bowhill Colliery, on Sunday evening, a machineman named Ernest M'Millan was the victim of a bad accident. He was working at the shifting of a coal cutter and had fallen. A part of the machinery which was revolving caught him, inflicting a severe laceration on the right side of the body and broken ribs. He was removed to the Cottage Hospital, Kirkcaldy, in the colliery ambulance wagon. [Dunfermline Journal 20 February 1915]
