Ralph Watson
Bevin Boy
My aunt who lived in Gateshead met and married a Bevin boy, Ralph Watson, who had been enlisted from the London area and sent up north to work in a coal mine near Hetton le Hole. After the war they moved back down south to the Slough area, where they brought up a family of four boys and one girl. I thought it would be a good gesture to have his name added to the list of Bevin boys who all did a good job in time of need.
