Bevin Boys badge can be issued to:
Men who were conscripted directly into the mines, those who opted for mine
work in preference to joining the Armed Forces, or those who were in the
Armed Forces and volunteered to become miners during the period 1943-1948.
The Bevin Boys scheme was introduced in 1943 by the then Minister for Labour
and National Service, Ernest Bevin. The scheme ran between 1943 and 1948
and involved recruiting men to work in coal mines during and immediately
following World War II.
The badge is available to all surviving Bevin Boys and formally recognises
their work in the UK coalfields during and immediately after World War II.
The badge can only be issued posthumously to the widows of men who died on
or after 20 June 2007 and fall into the above category.
Badges are currently being issued on a rolling basis.
