Award of Edward Medals

Whitehall, July 27, 1908.

His Majesty has been graciously pleased to allow the Edward Medal of the Second Class to be given to the widows of Robert Pattinson and Matthew Hilliard.

On the 28th January, 1908, a heavy fall of roof took place at the Roachburn Colliery, Cumberland. A miner named William Wharton having failed to escape, Robert Pattinson and Matthew Hilliard descended the mine in order to rescue him, but did not return.
