Earlier in 2008 I was fortunate to win a summer research scholarship at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. The Memorial has since published an article I wrote about the farm apprenticeship scheme in the April edition of their magazine, Wartime.
Bill Riley, author of Bullets for Bread, has kindly uploaded a PDF of the article on his website about British coal mining, Pitwork:
http://www.pitwork.net/wartime1.pdf
A box text on the third page of the article describes how farm apprentice Joseph McQueen, and his family, were involved in the Stanrigg Pit Disaster of 1918.

Farmers
As promised, below is the list of farmers who hosted the farm apprentices. I am also seeking descendants of these people and/or local historians of the various districts, so please get in touch if you are interested in a particular person, property or district. I will be able to confirm which boy/s were hosted by a each person.
