Denis Blanchard Forbes
Bevin Boy
from:Guildford
My Dad, Denis Forbes was a Bevin Boy and was the first to go from Guildford, Surrey, which was noted in the local paper, the Surrey Advertiser. They did an interview with him a couple of years ago when he got his medal at last.
He has some interesting stories to tell about his lodgings and the conditions that they endured both above and below ground.
