Lawrence Joseph Mallard

Bevin Boy

from:Oldbury

My father, Lawrence Joseph Mallard, was a Bevin Boy sent down the mine at Cannock in 1944. He was known to his colleagues as "Big Joe" and would have been about 20 when he was called for duty. Unusually, I believe, for a Bevin Boy, he worked at the coalface. I would love to hear from anyone who can recall him from those days. He lived in Oldbury, and used to motorcycle to Cannock each day for his shift. I have details of where he trained and his ballot number.
