Details of Event
April 1916: Pit Accidents – An accident in Glencraig No.2 Pit, happened on Monday to James Monroe, residing in South Glencraig whereby he received injuries to his legs through a fall of the roof. Happily no bones were broken, but severe bruises and cuts rendered it necessary to remove him home with the works Hand Ambulance. He is now progressing favourably. In the Nellie Pit on Wednesday an accident happened to Patrick Flin, Kingston Cottages, Glencraig, which necessitated his being conveyed home by ambulance. The injury is about the lower portion of the leg and is believed not to be serious. James White, residing at Crosshill, met with an accident in No.2 Pit Glencraig on Friday morning. He had just descended for his shift when the accident happened. He was conveyed home by the Hand Ambulance. [Lochgelly & Kelty News 11 April 1916]
