WW2 Britain's Bevin Boys (Conscripted Coal Miners) Veterans Old Comrades Lapel Pin Badge Brooch

The unsung heroes of WW2. Between late 1943 and early 1948, an army of young men – many of them conscripts – descended into the pits to fulfil a desperate need for fuel. Dangerous work, unappreciated and poorly rewarded, a moving icon of their sacrifice.
